A current Humanities Excellence Scholar in the College of Arts, Celtic Studies & Social Sciences, he is pursuing a doctoral project under the supervision of Dr Gert Hofmann and Dr Mary Noonan (UCC, French) examining the relationship between time and history in European literature after the Holocaust. Specifically, how a philosophical concept of trauma (as a mechanism of temporal “afterwardsness”) can be productive in a critical theory of narrative in post-modernity, focusing on the work of Paul Celan, Marguerite Duras, and Samuel Beckett.
