About
I began my career in higher education. I have an MA (with distinction) in Modern Literature and a PhD (on the relations between literature and science) from the University of Leicester. I worked for over twenty-five years at Nottingham Trent University, where I was most recently Associate Professor in English and American Literature.
I enjoyed teaching right across the curriculum, but I specialised particularly in researching and teaching literature and the cultural history of the nuclear age. I publish extensively and provide expert commentary on this topic. In recent years I became increasingly interested in working on projects with external organisations (including museums, theatres, cinemas, property developers and art galleries) and in exploring the role of creativity both in developing the self and in making sense of the world.
When organisational changes impacted English at the university, I took the opportunity to set up independently as a freelance writer, researcher, teacher and editor. For recent activities please see the News and Events page. You can view a full list of my publications here. I am a member of the Society of Authors and the Atomic Photographers’ Guild.
