I completed a Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy) / Bachelor of Science (Computer Science), as well as a Master of Philosophy in English, at the University of Sydney. The latter explored how capitalist political economy impacts characters’ and readers’ experiences of time in Joyce’s Ulysses. My final chapter elaborated how Joyce’s approximation of the mechanised print form of anthologies fragments reader experience, and how scholarly annotation to Ulysses exacerbates that experience while also allowing for newly interconnected reading experiences. My current work asks questions about form, scholarship, and readerly experience on a broader scale, exploring how modernist literature, and the literary productions of those who taught it at universities, relate to contemporaneous literary scholarship and pedagogy, especially in their uses of print pedagogical forms such as textbooks and annotations. Blending archival study with close readings of literary works, my research is informed by engagement with the philosophy of language and the sociology of the professions.
