I’m a writer from the north-west of england. I’m currently based in London, and completing a PhD at the University of Manchester.
I write about art, class, books, and popular culture. My writing has been featured in publications such as New Statesman, Financial Times and Polyester Zine. You can subscribe to my substack here.

My research is an attempt to build a cultural history of working-class femininity, with a particular focus on the experimental. Drawing on the work of authors and artists like Ann Quin, Sarah Lucas, and Shelagh Delaney, the ultimate aim of much of what I do is to rethink the legacy and possibilities of British social realism, emphasising marginalised perspectives and forms.
I completed my undergraduate degree at Homerton College, Cambridge and an MSt at Hertford College, Oxford, which was fully funded by the Oxford English faculty. I am now fully funded by a President’s Doctoral Scholarship.
When I’m not reading and writing, I present Writing Class for the Contemporary Women’s Writing Association, and teach feminist art history with The Brilliant Club.
