I received my B.A from Wilfrid Laurier University and my M.A. and PhD from Queen’s University (1992). After a postdoctoral fellowship at UBC, I worked at Simon Fraser University until 2001, when I moved back to UBC. I write and teach in the following areas: post-1945 British literature, with emphasis on the Thatcher years; the relationship between print and film cultures, and image and text more generally, with focus on the status and function of screenplays as print texts; and the life and work of the British/Canadian writer Malcolm Lowry.
I welcome graduate students with research interests in the areas of post-1945 British literature and culture; the relationship between print and film cultures, or text and image more generally; and the life and work of Malcolm Lowry.
DIGITAL BOOK. This collection focuses on Lowry’s spatial dynamics, from the psychogeography of the Letterist and the Situationist International, through musical forms (especially jazz), cinema, photography, and spatialpoetic writing, to the spaces of exception, bio-politics, and the creaturely.
