I’m an author, teacher, and a rebel academic.

From teaching to writing, everything I do is about buying myself more time to sit and think. Traditional academia made that hard: with its endless admin, funding requirements, and obligation to publish research — even when the research isn’t ready. I made it my mission to create a life full of libraries, travel, research, and writing through itinerant teaching work and writing gigs. My first book The Queer Thing About Sin will be released by Bloomsbury in the UK and the US next year (as well as in translation).
