Recent work explores Jenny Diski's autofiction and Claude Cahun's self-portraiture (2022), while earlier projects examined Richard Francis Burton's imperial writings (2008-2015) and Frantz Fanon's engagement with ancestral voices (2014).

Current projects address the concept of 'uselessness' in literature and a deep study of Jenny Diski's literary legacy.
