About
I am a curator at the
National Library of Scotland, with particular responsibility for Scottish Communities and Organisations. I am also a co-founder and one of the current editors of the
Journal of the Northern Renaissance, a member of the
Radical Open Access Collective. I am a member of the Board of Stewards of the
Open Book Collective, and also sit on the Membership Committee.
I previously worked as a Research Fellow with
COPIM (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs), an international partnership of researchers, universities, librarians, open access book publishers and infrastructure providers building community-owned, open systems and infrastructures to enable open access book publishing to flourish.
Before this I worked in Turkey teaching English Literature and Cultural Studies, first at İstanbul Kültür University (IKU) and then at Bilkent University in Ankara. I’ve also previously worked as an EAP teacher and tutor at the University of Edinburgh, and as a translator and an ESL teacher in Italy.
