Current Research

I am currently preparing a book on the historical novels of José Saramago, and writing articles on Fernando Pessoa and on the poet Al Berto. My other current projects focus on Portuguese queer culture and representations of homosexual identity and desire; post-colonial and post-conflict literatures, cultures and identities in Portugal and lusophone Africa.

Past Research

My primary research interest for much of the last ten years has been the work of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist José Saramago. I have also researched and published on post-revolutionary Portuguese literature and cultural identity, and on representations of gender and desire in the work of various 19th- and 20th- century Portuguese and lusophone African writers including Fernando Pessoa, Eça de Queirós, Luís Bernardo Honwana, and António Lobo Antunes.

Future Research

My plans for future research include studies of visual culture in contemporary Portugal and lusophone Africa and particularly the cinema of Flora Gomes, and representations of gender, sexuality and identity in lusophone popular music.
