Staff
Get to know the team in English Literature.
As a response to COVID-19, some of us are on campus while others are working remotely.
You can contact us Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm BST.
We hope you’ll understand why we aren’t able to offer routine in-person appointments at the moment. However, if you email us, we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
