I began working as a Lecturer in Medieval Literature at the University of Surrey in October 2017, after completing my PhD at the University of Surrey earlier in the year. My doctoral studentship, awarded by the University of Surrey, supported my research on queer time and space in medieval romance and the lays. In this study I analysed Bisclavret, Lanval, Sir Orfeo, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale.
I specialise in medieval literature, queer theory, and gender theory with a particular focus on queer time, space, and identity. My publications include an article on queerness in Sir Orfeo, an article on Marie de France, alienation and Lanval, and a book chapter on orchards as queer loci in Lanval and Sir Orfeo. I am currently writing a monograph on queer time and space in medieval romance. In addition, I am working on a new project which examines female space as queer space in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur.
