The primary objectives of my PhD thesis are to question if ancient satiric techniques play a part in contemporary satire and to provide a clearer understanding of how satire is intrinsically perceived as a work of protest. This thesis questions satire as genre and, instead, validates it as a work of protest, rhetoric, and discourse as handed down from the ancient Greeks and Romans.
I also have an MPhil from the University of Dundee, which argues that Eric Linklater’s 'Juan in America' uses concepts of memory and history to misappropriate Byron’s ‘Don Juan’.
Additionally, I have an MLitt in creative writing from the University of St Andrews, a BA in English from Louisiana State University. In an attempt to balance my addiction for acquiring HE qualifications I partake in trivial activities such as watching 80’s American sitcoms, but instead finds myself writing abstracts for papers about the Cold War’s influence on transgender politics as represented in the visual shibboleths found in ‘Three’s Company’.
