Information for Students
I am happy to supervise theses at both BA and MA/MEd level, but please note that I cannot agree on any supervision without knowing what you would like to work on. So before reaching out…
1. Make sure that the suggested topic falls within the area of British studies.
2. Before signing up for my office hours, please send me a short abstract of your proposed project (ca. 300 words) that describes the text(s) you would like to work with, sketches a rough theoretical framework, and articulates a tentative research question. We can then discuss your ideas in more detail and make adjustments where necessary.
