木瓜福利影视

I am Assistant Professor of Modern and Contemporary Literatures in English at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. I am currently developing a project on the development of modern free speech culture, and am more broadly interested in the intersection of literature with public debate. I am co-editing a volume of the Edinburgh History of the Radical Press, 1780鈥�1914 (with Owen Holland), and my monograph Slavery in the International Women鈥檚 Movement, 1832鈭�1914: Memory Work and the Legacy of Abolitionism recently appeared with Cambridge 木瓜福利影视 Press (Open Access: ).

My postdoctoral research with the ERC project considered the 鈥減rotest lexicon鈥� of social movements, and explored how activist memory is shaped and transmitted through language. This interest in the nexus between language and cultural memory resulted in my co-edited volume (with Ann Rigney) Memory and the Language of Contention (Brill 2025, Open Access: ) and a forthcoming volume Language and Memory: Interactions and Mediations (with Natalie Braber and Thomas Van de Putte, Bloomsbury 2025). My articles have appeared, among other places, in Memory Studies, Language and Communication, and Historica. 

I am part of the Utrecht Forum for Memory Studies, the Memory Studies Association, the Slow Memory COST Action, and serve on the board of the European Society for Periodical Research. I am also part of the editorial boards of the Journal of European Periodical Studies and the Yearbook of Women's History.
