Academic Background

I taught in comprehensive schools for many years before returning to academia to do an MA in Literary Translation and a PhD on translation after Wittgenstein. I have taught in LDC at UEA and also in The School of Western Languages and Literature at ínönü University, Malatya, Turkey, and I am now Lecturer in Philosophy in PPL, where I teach philosophy of religion, foundational texts of the great civilisations and world philosophies.

My research interests include:philosophy and translation; translation after Wittgenstein; Simone Weil; the transcendent; the concept of God in German Baroque poetry; mysticism.
