Welcome
I'm a writer and medievalist based in Bern, Switzerland.
I earned my doctorate in English at New College, Oxford, where my dissertation explored the practice of adapting the English canon—in particular, the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and William Shakespeare—for child readers. I’ve taught papers on feminist theory, modern literature, and writing, and I'm also interested in the process of secular exegesis and the relationship between literature and science.
As of January 2025, I am the postdoctoral research on the European Research Council project 'DERIVATE: Towards a Literary History of Derivation,' based at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and led by Prof. Dr. Eva von Contzen. Previously, I was the postdoctoral researcher on the Swiss National Science Foundation Eccellenza Project 'Canonicity, Obscenity, and the Making of Modern Chaucer' (COMMode) at the University of Bern, Switzerland.
Please note that I am on maternity leave until autumn 2025.
