About

Overview

Minna joined City in August 2016 and teaches on BA and MA programmes in English.

Minna's teaching and research are underpinned by a commitment to interdisciplinarity. Her primary research interests lie in fin-de-siècle popular and print culture and publishing history (c. 1880-1920), genre studies (particularly Gothic and crime), London literatures, spatial theory, and the medical humanities; twentieth-century conflict literature is a significant secondary interest.

Minna would be interested to hear from prospective PhD students working on the fin de siècle, urban studies, spatiality, genre fiction and periodical research.
