Biography

I read English and Educational Studies (BA Hons) at the University of Hull, followed by a PhD in Holocaust Testimony, Literature and Jewish Identity at the University of Leeds (2011). I previously worked as a Research Associate and Visiting Lecturer at York St John University in the former Faculty of Education and Theology and the Centre for Religion in Society (CRiS), and also at Leeds Trinity University in the Theology and Religious Studies Department. I taught and researched in the areas of Conflict, Religion, Peace and Reconciliation with a particular interest in Israel and Palestine. I held research posts on externally-funded projects at the University of Leeds in the areas of Germany's Confrontation with the Holocaust and Teaching Character Education through Literature. Most recently I have worked at University of York in the Humanities Research Centre, supporting the research and funding activity of the University's Arts and Humanities departments.
I rejoined York St John University in 2021. I teach religion, research in the area of Holocaust memory, and I am part of the Centre for Religion in Society.
