Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

I joined the Department of English, Creative Writing, and Film in 2017, after holding positions at the University of Cape Town (2013-2017) and Stellenbosch University (2005-2012) in South Africa.

My research and teaching is predominantly in literary and cultural studies, and I work primarily on literary texts, though I also focus on photography, film and other cultural forms and am deeply engaged in interdisciplinary conversations. I have produced 100+ publications and delivered 100+ presentations (including 50+ keynote or invited and funded addresses) in: African and South African studies; Africa-Asia and Indian Ocean studies; Australian literatures; Anthropocene studies and the environmental humanities; critical theory and literary debates; the oceanic humanities, coastal studies and the 'oceanic south'; postcolonial, decolonial, global south, southern hemisphere and world literatures; water in various forms and figurations; and, women's writing and theories of gender.

Alongside Mandy Treagus, I am CI on the ARC SRI 'Between Indian and Pacific Oceans: Reframing Australian Literatures' (2021-2024) and I lead the research themes 'Stories from the South' in the School of the Humanities and 'South/South' in the JM Coetzee Centre for Creative Practice at the University of Adelaide.

I serve as Postgraduate Coordinator for English, Creative Writing, and Film and am passionate about fostering Higher Degree Research. As supervisor, I have guided 29 postgraduate researchers to successful completion (14 Master's and 15 PhD), along with 4 postdoctoral and 3 ECR fellows. My current cohort includes 9 PhDs in English and Creative Writing, and I welcome enquiries from prospective HDR candidates interested in engaging with research areas in which I am active.

I hold an honorary appointment as Associate Professor Extraordinaire in English at Stellenbosch University, South Africa (2018-2023). Other current external affiliations include invited associate membership of the Observatory for the Societies of the Indian Ocean (University of Reunion, France) and of Oceanic Humanities for the Global South (University of Witwatersrand, South Africa).

I serve widely and actively in the academic publishing sphere, and am on the editorial/advisory boards of a number of international journals, such as Ariel: A Review of International English Literature (U Calgary and Johns Hopkins UP), along with the international advisory boards of the book series 'African Articulations' (Boydell & Brewer/James Currey) and 'Literatures as World Literature' (Bloomsbury), and I peer review for another 50+ academic journals and publishers, along with grant agencies in Africa, Australia, Europe and the Middle East. I am a founding co-editor of the book series Palgrave Studies in Maritime Literature and Culture.

I am actively involved in convening impactful academic engagements and strongly committed to public engagement, and have convened and chaired events with a range of scholars, writers and public intellectuals including Judith Butler, JM Coetzee, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Isabel Hofmeyr, Abdul JanMohamed, Achille Mbembe, Sarah Nuttall and Zoe Wicomb, along with a series of events hosted in partnership with the Man Booker International Prize.
