ACADEMIA
I have just finished a fully-funded PhD at the University of Cambridge on portrayals of political geography in English literature, focusing on Poland and East-Central Europe.
My research is at the intersection of nineteenth and early twentieth-century Anglophone, Polish, and East-Central European literature and culture; East-Central European geopolitics; and cultural history. I also work on interwar history, especially interwar Polish history, and especially Polish tango.
I am now teaching at Cambridge on literature, including close reading, literary theory, twentieth and twenty-first century literature, literature and politics, and film.
I have been awarded fellowships at the Herder Institute in Marburg, Germany, and the Nordost Institute in Lüneburg, Germany. I have also been awarded numerous grants for my work, including conference funding from several British institutions, and postgraduate funding from the Modern and Medieval Languages and English faculties at Cambridge to organise events.
Previously, I worked as a research assistant for the Baltic Geopolitics Programme, at the University of Cambridge.
I have also organised several events, including the Cambridge British-Polish Symposium, with the attendance of the Ambassadors to Britain and Poland.
I peer-review for The Journal of Slavic Military Studies and The Space Between.
During my PhD, I also acted as an undergraduate admissions interviewer for Murray Edwards College and Newnham College, and marked admissions essays.
