My research has focused on several areas related to death and dying. My early work looked at spiritualism in Irish Literature, but since then I have addressed the politics and ethics of writing, broadcasting and performance in Cross Bones Graveyard, Southwark. I have worked on the Death Positive Libraries initiative, and I’m currently writing a monograph on death and memoir.
