Biography

I am a PhD candidate in Theology and Religious Studies (Old Testament) at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge. My thesis is being supervised by Prof Katharine Dell, on the nature of 'history' within the Book of Lamentations. My research interests are in Hebrew Bible/Old Testament topics regarding poetics, history, trauma, community, embodiment, and land/place, particularly in Lamentations as well as the Megilloth and the broader poetic texts of the Hebrew Bible.
