About me

I'm a mildly-tired academic with simultaneously too much and too little free time. I studied English Language and Literature at Oxford as an undergraduate, with a particular focus on the construction of interactive narrative/ergodic fiction in games and 20th century literature.

My current interests are centred on how to incorporate gamified elements into our academic writing to better communicate a thesis, blurring the line between the aesthetic elements of the texts we analyse and the genre of academic writing itself.

Research interests

Ecocritical literature; game studies; sea narratives; mycology
