Formal subsumption, neoliberalism, and literary form in world-literature 1970-present
I am an IRC-funded postdoctoral research fellow in the Humanities Institute at UCD. My primary research interest is the representation of labour in world-literature. My current project analyses innovations in the novel form used to represent labour precarity—particularly its gendered experience—in South Africa, Brazil, and the Caribbean. The project is mentored by Dr Sharae Deckard. My first monograph, Economic Informality in World Literature is forthcoming with Palgrave Macmillan. I have published widely in the field of world-literature with articles on South African, Caribbean, and British fiction appearing in Safundi, Journal of Postcolonial Writing, and The Cambridge Journal of Postcolonial Literary Inquiry. A chapter on African realism co-authored with Professor Madhu Krishnan is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press. In the past I have taught courses on fiction and world-ecology, and Critical Theory, and would be interested in supervising BA or MA dissertation students on topics related to world-literature, Marxist literary criticism, or questions of labour and literature.
