I am a Reader in Cultural History at Canterbury Christ Church University, where I teach modules on US history from 1900-45, Atlantic history from the Columbian Exchange to 1900, the Cold War, Comics Studies, Utopian thought, and horror. My main interests are in American cultural history, most notably Comics Studies. I have published in journals such as Gender & History, Social History, Literature Compass, Horror Studies, & Studies in Comics; my work also appears in several edited volumes.
