About me
As Study Skills Tutor I empower students from Access to postgraduate levels by offering tailored support in study skills, including academic writing, research, time management, and exam preparation. In this role I have contributed to fostering an inclusive and effective learning environment by addressing diverse academic needs.
As part of Student Services, I have prepared reading materials to accommodate print-disabled students, using tools like ABBYY FineReader and MS Office. My values centre on fostering equity in learning, and I aim to contribute to organisations that prioritise academic excellence and inclusivity.
I hold a PhD in English Literature from Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV, with a thesis on gender and genre in Anglophone conspiracy fiction. My project was funded by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland. I also hold an MLitt in Modernities from University of Glasgow, and a BA Hons in English Studies from Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV. My core competencies include student support, textual analysis, higher education teaching, and literary research.
My research interests include American genre literature of the twentieth century, especially the Gothic, science-fiction, and the thriller; second-wave feminism and feminist theory; conspiracy fiction and conspiracy theories in fiction.
