  I completed a PhD on the poetry of John Berryman. This research was generously funded by the Irish Research Council (2013-2016).During the PhD I published two peer-reviewed book chapters, as well as a number of articles, reviews and interviews. I disseminated my research both locally and internationally, presenting at conferences across Ireland and the UK, as well as Romania, Mallorca, France and the US. I co-organised three symposia at Trinity College Dublin that attracted scholars from across the globe, including the “John Berryman Centenary Symposium” (2014), the “Robert Lowell Centenary Symposium” (2017), and “Literary Archives in the Digital Age” (2017).
