2024 Jane Austen Scholar-in-Residence
I was awarded a $2500 research grant from the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies to conduct archival research in the Alberta Hirsheimer Burke collection at Goucher College, Maryland. This collection holds theatre ephemera, letters, and printed materials related to Jane Austen, and I worked under the supervision of Prof. Juliette Wells. This research was undertaken to create the first ever comprehensive survey of Austen on stage in Britain and America, and I presented my findings at the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, & Publishing's 2024 Conference.

I was awarded ?500 for highly commended essay 'Queerness, Gender & Heterosexuality in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Frankenstein’ by chair of judges Tom Holland. A kind travel grant from the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association allowed me to travel to London for the prize giving ceremony in the historic John Murray Publishing House.

Chawton House Visiting Fellowship

I was awarded this fellowship to study the original manuscript of Austen’s play Sir Charles Grandison in August 2024. As part of this fellowship, I contributed to the outputs of the house for their celebrations of Austen's 250th birthday. I contributed to the exhibition 'Sisters of the Pen: Jane Austen, Influence, Legacy,' with the section 'Drama in the Drawing Room' highlighting the role of theatre in Austen’s world, tracing how drama moved stage to page, as well as from public theatres to private parlours.
