Profile

I studied English and Philosophy at University College Dublin, and completed a Ph.D. (on concepts of time in twentieth-century criticism and theory) at the University of Kent in 1999. Before joining Queen Mary in 2019, I was head of the Writing programme at the Royal College of Art. My first book, a memoir titled In the Dark Room, was published in 2005. My creative and critical writing has appeared in publications such as the Guardian, The London Review of Books, Artforum, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Granta and The White Review. I’ve curated exhibitions for Tate and Hayward galleries, and I’m an editor at Cabinet, an arts and culture magazine based in New York.
