- Qualifications
-
I hold a BA in Dutch Language, Literature & Theatre Studies from the University of Antwerp (BE) and MA and PhD in Modern Literature from the same university.
- Research interests
-
My doctoral research focused on prose of the Belgian writer Maurice Gilliams – sometimes called ‘the Flemish Proust’ – and his quest for a Flemish cosmopolitanism in the years between the two World Wars.
Currently my research interests lie in the area of nation building and national identity, ecocriticism and intercultural transfer. I am currently working on the circulation of the fiction of Gerard Reve, the Netherlands’ first openly gay writer, in the Anglophone world.
I am also the Director of the Association for Low Countries Studies in the UK and Ireland (ALCS) and an editor for The Golden Compasses. Journal for Book History.
