Biography

Prior to joining the University of Glasgow in 2011 as Senior Lecturer, I worked at Edinburgh University and at Manchester Metropolitan University. My undergraduate and PhD degrees are in English Literature, and so I have mainly worked in Literature departments. But I was from 2010-11 employed within the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, as part of the AHRC-funded Theology and Therapy Project.

Research interests

  • Contemporary literature, particularly illness narrative, medical journalism, and discursive writing
  • Science fiction and Horror fiction
  • History and theory of the psy disciplines, including their book and media history
  • The broader medical humanities in theory and practice

I direct the Glasgow Medical Humanities Research Centre and the Wellcome Trust funded Glasgow Medical Humanities Network, as well as being a Steering Group member for the Wellcome funded Northern Network for Medical Humanities, and a Glasgow representative for the CIVIS Health Humanities and Innovative Pedagogies Hub.

I am lead Editor for the book series Contemporary Cultural Studies of Illness, Health and Medicine (Edinburgh University Press), an Associate Editor for the journal Palgrave Communications, and a member of the Peer-Review Committee for Études écossaises.

I review funding and do panel work for a variety of organisations. I am a member of both the AHRC Peer Review College (second term) and the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship Peer Review College, and I was an expert reviewer for the AHRC COVID-19 call. I have also reviewed for the MRC, ESRC, Wellcome Trust and Carnegie Trust.

I have peer-reviewed for a wide range of journals across medical humanities, contemporary literature, religious studies, Scottish literature, psychiatry and psychotherapy, and history of the psy disciplines. I have peer-reviewed monographs and collections for various publishers, including Routledge, Peter Lang, Palgrave MacMillan, Bloomsbury, and UCL Press.

I welcome invitations to externally examine, including at undergraduate and taught postgraduate level. I have externally examined PhDs in contemporary and modern literature, and medical humanities, for University of Aberdeen, University of Bristol, Monash University, University of Stirling, and King's College London.

Teaching

I am Learning and Teaching Convener for English Literature, and I regularly convene Honours provision in literary theory and contemporary literature. I convene the Senior Honours option Science Fiction ENGLIT4062, and I co-teach on the Senior Honours option Literature and Medicine ENGLIT4059.

I also convene the MLitt Option The Bleeding Edge: Contemporary Narratives Of Illness And Medicine ENGLIT5104, and will soon introduce a new contemporary Horror Fiction option that will be available at both Senior Honours and MLitt.

I founded and occasionally still convene Glasgow's intercalated medical humanities degree, the BSc Med Sci (Hons) in Medical Humanities, and I also accept medical students as a supervisor on independent SSMs.
