Professor in English Literature and Creative Writing, Swansea University
I graduated from UC Berkeley's Celtic Studies programme in 2000, and after gaining a PhD in English at Swansea in 2004, I worked in publishing, including as editor of the cultural journal Planet. I have taught Creative Writing at Swansea University since 2010, and am a fellow of the HEA and of the Learned Society of Wales. My books include Birdsplaining (2023); Losing Israel (2015); The Greatest Need (2015); Whose People? Wales, Israel, Palestine (2012); Self-portrait as Ruth (2009), and Misappropriations (2006).
