Areas of interest
My main research areas are in modern French & Francophone literature, with particular focus on Francophone cultures of the Indian Ocean, especially Mauritius; and women’s writing in French, especially Marguerite Duras and Ananda Devi.
My publications include: The Mauritian Novel: Fictions of Belonging (Liverpool University Press, 2018) and Duras and Indochina: Postcolonial Perspectives (Liverpool: SFPS Critical Studies, 2006).
From 2019-2023, I was President of the Society for Francophone Postcolonial Studies and General Editor of the Francophone Postcolonial Studies series, Liverpool University Press.
