Research interests

Biography

Novels are my first love but I write across various genres including short stories, essays, plays and libretti for opera. I enjoy collaboration across disciplines, and am currently developing my work in new music and sound art. 

Research areas that particularly appeal to me include LGBTQI+ writing, Scottish Literature, feminism, arts-based methodologies and interdisciplinary experiments. I am co-director of the ArtsLab Scottish Hub of the Sustainable Futures in Africa Network. 

In 2017 I worked on Home Ground, the cultural legacy of the Homeless World Cup in Glasgow, and in 2014 I curated a new anthology of LGBT writing from Scotland, Out There – the first of its kind in over a decade. Between 2011 and 2014 I co-edited New Writing Scotland, and in 2012 I co-selected the Scottish Poetry Library’s Best Scottish Poems.

I was one of the judges for the 2020 Dublin International Literary Award.
