My profile
Biography
BIOGRAPHY
I joined Manchester Metropolitan University in 2018, and currently work in the French section of the LIC Department. My research focuses on the establishment of Jacobitism in small early-modern states, and more specifically on the implication of the European nobility in the fomentation of the 1715 Jacobite rising. I currently study the presence of the Jacobite diaspora in France from the 18th century to its impact on today’s French culture and Society. Drawing on my literary background, my research utilizes an interdisciplinary methodology to study both the itineraries and practices of travellers as well as the genesis and reception(s) of their travel narrative(s).
Prior to joining Man Met, I spent two years teaching EAP at the University of Lorraine (FRANCE) before joining the French department of the University of Liverpool in 2016. I also previously taught in the HPP department at ManMet, and led international training for PhD students and the Education University of Hong Kong from 2017 to 2019.
