Biography

I am Senior Lecturer in English Literature and Medical Humanities in the School of Critical Studies, University of Glasgow, where I direct the Medical Humanities Research Centre, with Dr Megan Coyer as my Deputy.

I am a graduate of Edinburgh University, where I took my MA Hons and PhD. Prior to joining the University of Glasgow in 2011, I worked at Edinburgh University and Manchester Metropolitan University. I have mainly worked in literature departments, but was from 2010-11 employed within the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, as part of the Theology and Therapy Project, where I investigated the overlap of psychotherapy, Christianity, and spirituality in post-war Scotland and England.

I welcome enquiries from potential postgraduate and postdoctoral scholars interested in pursuing their research under my supervision and mentorship.

I specialise in the medical humanities - those areas of the humanities that complement, contextualise and critique biomedical accounts of human nature, health and well-being. My research in this area has included:

Science Fiction and the Medical Humanities

Other Psychotherapies: across time, space, and cultures

I was also recently a Network Member of the AHRC-funded project HAIVAIRN: Healthcare Associated Infection Visualisation and Ideation Network: http://visionon.org/haivairn

I am a founding and steering group member of the Wellcome Trust funded Northern Network for Medical Humanities http://nnmh.org.uk/ and I was also a steering group member of the Wellcome Trust and AHRC funded New Generations ECR Programme in medical humanities

My medical humanities research also extends to critical history of psychiatry, to global and cultural mental health, as well as to the overlap between book history and history of the "psy disciplines".

My literary interests are in science fiction, critical and cultural theory, contemporary literature, public intellectuals, and Scottish Literature.

I am currently completing two monographs: Science Fiction and Psychology (for Liverpool University Press’s Science Fiction Texts and Contexts series) and Miracles of Healing: Psychotherapy and Religion in Twentieth-Century Scotland (for the Edinburgh University Press series Scottish Religious Cultures).

I have externally examined PhDs in contemporary and modern literature, and medical humanities, for University of Aberdeen, University of Bristol, Monash University and University of Stirling.

I have peer-reviewed for a wide range of journals, including: Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Études écossaises, International Review of Scottish Studies, Journal of Social History, Practical Theology, History of Psychology, The Psychiatrist, Scottish Historical Review, Mosaic: a journal for the interdisciplinary study of literature, Scottish Literary Review, Literature and Medicine, Journal of Contemporary Religion, Social History of Medicine, British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, Medical Humanities, Modernism/modernity, Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health, Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Ethics and Social Welfare, Transcultural Psychiatry, Text: Journal of Writing and Writing Courses, Griffith Journal of Law and Human Dignity, Psychoanalysis and History and Review of General Psychology.

I have peer-reviewed monographs and related items for various publishers, including Routledge, Peter Lang, Palgrave MacMillan, Bloomsbury, and UCL Press.

I am an Associate Editor for the journal Palgrave Communications, a member of the Peer-Review Committee for Études écossaises, and an Editorial Board member for the Peter Lang series Medical Humanities Criticism and Creativity.

I am a member of the AHRC Peer Review College, as well as the Wellcome Trust Humanities and Social Science Reviewer Pool, and I am also a Carnegie Trust Research Assessor. I have also reviewed for the ESRC and for Leverhulme Trust.

Because of my interest in the history of Scottish psychotherapy, I have also had the pleasure of being for some years a Co-director of the Sutherland Trust http://www.sutherlandtrust.org.uk/, a registered independent charity (Scottish Charity Number SC22013) promoting the study of human relations in Education, Social Services, and Health Care. 2007 – present
