International Health Humanities Network Membership

I am a literary scholar and specialist in literature and culture from 1890 to the present, with a focus on women's writing, feminism and sex, sexuality and gender, and I teach literature from the nineteenth century to the present.

I am currently writing a book on effeminacy and the experience of belonging in contemporary online and offline narratives, focusing on the intersections of gay bottom identity, gender nonconformity, and marginalisation across Western and non-Western settings. 

More broadly I am interested in mental health among gay men and men who have sex with men, particularly the experience of belonging in multiple contexts: in the body, home, family, school, workplace, online, and in healthcare settings (among others).
