Research interests:
My research interests are very broad across the disciplines of neuroscience, psychology, religion, and spirituality. However, I have a longstanding side-interest in Victorian art, specifically focused on the work of John Ruskin and William Holman Hunt. I was recently able to develop this interest by completing an MA in Christianity and the Arts at King's College London, where I took a module on engagement with antiquity in nineteenth century Britain, and undertook my dissertation on the relationship between John Ruskin's aesthetic and the breakdown of his mental health.
