About me

I am a scholar of English literature, with primary expertise in the relationship between climate and literature. I also have research interests in women's writing of the British Romantic age (1780-1830) and in epic poetry.

I am a Professor of English Literature at Queen's University, Canada. I also hold several honorary positions: Honorary Professor at the University of Hong Kong; Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool; Visiting Professor at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University; and Adjunct Professor at Monash University Malaysia. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and was President of the Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment UK and Ireland (ASLE UKI) from 2011 to 2015.

Born and raised in Malaysia, I gained my BA (Hons) and PhD from Monash University in Australia. I began my academic career at the University of Tampere in Finland; I then went on to positions at the universities of Exeter and Surrey in the UK, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in China, and Monash University Malaysia. In December 2024, I took up my current position in Canada.

With Sam Solnick (University of Liverpool) and Nicole Seymour (California State University at Fullerton), I am a founding editor of the book series, Liverpool Studies in Literature and Environment, for Liverpool University Press. I also serve on the editorial boards of the journals Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism and C21: Journal of 21st-century Writings, and the Anthem World Epic and Romance book series, as well as the international advisory boards of Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change
and Resistance: A Journal of Radical Environmental Humanities. If you have questions about making a submission to any of these, I'd be happy to hear from you.
