Current Research:

In November this year I will present my research on the impact of space on mental health at the PAMLA convention. The paper, entitled 'Analysing Space: Therapeutic Rooms in Post-War Literature', examines narrative constructions of analytic space to interrogate notions of physical and psychological privacy in the post-war period.
