She is also interested in global women’s writing, gender & sexuality studies, World-Systems approaches, and GoHoW (Gothic, Horror, and the Weird) across literary forms.

From there, she began teaching and convening across ECLS, Liberal Arts, History, Warwick Business School, Warwick Law School, and the Institute of Advanced Teaching and Learning. Roxanne won institution-wide teaching at awards Warwick in 2018 and 2021, and launched a feminist reading group for Undergraduates in 2020.

Roxanne completed her PhD in early 2020, and since has published in Feminist Theory and with Bloomsbury. She is an editorial board member for the Journal of International Women’s Studies, and co-organised the hybrid ‘Women in World-Literature’ conference, which welcomed over 200 delegates across online and in-person platforms, with Dr Fiona Farnsworth. Fiona and Roxanne hope to launch a research network emerging from this conference to focus on feminist approaches to World-Literature.
