Chris was born and raised in the Cardiff docks area of Wales, one of the oldest multicultural areas of the UK. He grew up speaking English and Welsh, and at age nine began to learn French. Thereafter, he has studied and developed differing levels of competence in  several other languages, including Spanish and Wolof, with which he occasionally works. He went to the University of Bath to study a BA in Modern Languages and European Studies, and as part of his degree lived in Italy and France. Upon graduation, he  moved to the US to pursue graduate study. Following his first year of work at Graduate School there, Northwestern University sponsored him to undergo an extensive study program in Senegal, which became the focus of his doctoral thesis. He obtained his PhD in French (and Italian) in 2005 from Northwestern, and began working in a New York City liberal arts college soon after. In 2011 he decided to move to Australia, and in 2012 began a role as Lecturer of French in the University of South Australia. He is now a member of UniSA: Creative, where he has taught and co-ordinated courses in the Creative Writing and Literature major within the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Creative Industries degrees. He has published especially on the intersection of literature from France, Italy and Senegal.  Alongside  Professor Natalie Edwards of the University of Adelaide, he is a prolific editor; they have now published eleven different books and special issues of journals together  (most recently with Auto/Biography Studies, Journal of Australian Studies and Journal of Literary Mutlilingualism). On January 1, 2019 they began work as joint Chief Investigators on a three-year (later extended to five) Australian Research Council-funded Discovery Project (190102863) entitled "Transnational Selves. French Narratives of Migration to Australia". In 2020, he was awarded fellowships at Cardiff University's School of Modern Languages and Translation and the Institute of Modern Languages Research at the University of London's School of Advanced Study. He is currently a member of the Creative People, Products and Places Research Centre at UniSA.  His monograph Afropean Female Selves: Migration and Language in the Life Writing of Fatou Diome and Igiaba Scego appeared in October 2022 in Routledge's Auto/Biography Studies series.
