Dr Sarah Jackson specialises in contemporary literature and theory, and is interested in the intersections between creative and critical writing, and the implications of this for travel writing studies. Her poetry collection, Pelt (Bloodaxe, 2012), won the Seamus Heaney Prize and was longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, and her monograph, Tactile Poetics: Touch and Contemporary Writing (Edinburgh University Press, 2015), provides a new critical perspective on the relationship between text and tact in 20th and 21st-century literature and theory. Her chapter on the significance of touch in travel writing is forthcoming in the Ashgate Research Companion to Travel Writing (2017).Further information about her publications can be found at www.sarahjacksonbluebox.com. Dr Jackson is particularly interested in the representation of travel in the work of Jacques Derrida and Hélène Cixous, and welcomes research proposals from prospective students working in this area.
