I specialise in the study of ecocriticism and landscape studies in children's literature. My first monograph Antarctica in British Children's Literature was published in 2021. I have also published on visual scaling in environmental picturebooks, the hero narrative in non-fiction work about Greta Thunberg, and mapping in Antarctic literature for children. My research has also focused on shared reading. From 2021-2022 I worked as a postdoctoral research on the IRC-funded project 'Reading Rooms: Fostering Constructive and Inclusive Dialogue Between Communities' led by Dr Pádraic Whyte and Dr Elizabeth Nixon. This project focused on exploring the potential of shared reading to foster constructive dialogue in interface communities in Northern Ireland. Following this project I worked as Research Manager at Verbal, an arts-based organisation based in Derry that runs reading groups with marginalised populations.
