About

Overview

Professor Juliet John (FRSA, FEA) joined City as the Dean of Arts & Social Sciences in September 2020, a role she held until the end of 2021. She was previously Hildred Carlile Chair of English Literature at Royal Holloway, University of London from 2012-20, where she held various leadership roles over this time, including the inaugural Headship of the School of Humanities (comprised of the Departments of English, History, Classics, and Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures), Head of English, and Faculty Associate Dean Education.

She studied English as an undergraduate at Selwyn College, Cambridge, gaining a Double First and several scholarships and prizes, then completed her PhD at University College London. Before joining Royal Holloway, she was Professor of English at the University of Liverpool and had spent 20 years working at institutions in the North West of England - the University of Manchester, the University of Salford and Edge Hill University. She is an internationally recognised Dickensian, much of her work focusing on the relationship between Dickens’s work and the popular cultural contexts of the Victorian and post-Victorian periods, but she is also interested in questions of popular culture more generally, from the Victorian period to the present, working across literary and cultural studies. She thus has research expertise in areas such as melodrama, nineteenth-century theatre, the popular Victorian novel, journalism, film, screen and adaptation studies, heritage and museum studies, digital humanities, neo-Victorianism, thing theory, and affect studies. She welcomes doctoral students in any of these areas. She is academic advisor to the Dickens Museum, has advised the Museum of London, is a Fellow of Gladstone’s Library and twice a Trustee of the Dickens Society of America.

While at the University of Liverpool, she founded and led the Gladstone Centre for Victorian Studies for a decade and was PI on the AHRC-funded Gladstone Cataloguing and Annotation Project. She was also Faculty Director for Student Experience for the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Liverpool from 2010-12, a role which included oversight of Learning and Teaching for 9,000 students. She has a committed interest in pedagogy - in best practice and the management of learning and teaching. Professor John has been the recipient of individual and team teaching awards and has taught abroad by invitation, as well as giving numerous international keynote research lectures.

She is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a Fellow of the English Association, a strategic reviewer and member of the Arts and Humanities Research Council Peer Review College, a QAA institutional reviewer, a former member of the executive committee of UE (University English), and has been a member of the exam board OCR's HE consultative committee. Both her research and her professional practice are informed by a belief in dialogue between academia and the world beyond, for example, through the media, schools, cultural institutions, and cultural policy bodies.
