Outreach
I run regular letterpress workshops and classes with the Pathfoot Press interns and occasionally with fellow printer Dr. Dawn Hollis of the Crail Press for members of the university, students, and the general public. I also consult for libraries on all aspects of cataloguing, conservation, and preservation of early printed books and for community groups interested in preserving and/or interpreting the carved stones in their areas.
Past Teaching
Prior to arriving at Stirling I taught early modern and Romantic literature at Jesus College, Oxford, and early modern history at the University of St Andrews.
