I currently work as a tutor in Religious Studies & History of Science at the University of Leeds. My research focuses on conspiracy theories, myth and moral panic - particularly pertaining to the occult. My PhD thesis, and ongoing work, focuses in particular on the revival of Satanic moral panic from the mid 2010s onwards.
