My past and current research projects have focused on the specific contributions that literary works, and literary modes of analysis, can make to the interdisciplinary discussion of ethical and political problems. This interest has manifested itself in diverse projects at the intersection of literature and philosophy: work on moral philosophy and post-1950s poetry for my first book, on public apology in global anglophone literature, on the ethics of attention in modern literature, and on representations of modern ruins in ecological fiction. My first book, Moral Authority in Seamus Heaney and Geoffrey Hill, was published in 2022 by Oxford University Press. I am currently undertaking a Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND-II Research Fellowship at the Aarhus Institute for Advanced Studies.
