Bulfin

Dr. Ailise Bulfin is a literary and cultural scholar whose research and teaching interests range from nineteenth-century to contemporary culture. Her work explores the dark side of the human imagination, with a particular focus on representations of war, environmental catastrophe, and child sexual abuse. She has published a number of critical essays on topics such as xenophobia, invasion scares, sexual violence, natural catastrophe, and climate change. Her monograph, Gothic Invasions: Imperialism, War, and Fin-de-Siècle Popular Fiction, was published in 2018 and explores the interchange between popular literature and socio-political anxieties about war and invasion in the period before the First World War. She is co-organizer of the Invasion Network international research group and has worked with its members to produce two special issues of Critical Survey considering the impact of the work of the major invasion fiction author and conspiracist William Le Queux on early-twentieth-century fears of war, invasion, spying and sabotage (in press for 2019 & 2020). Her current research entails a medical humanities strand exploring cultural representations of child sexual abuse in nineteenth-century and contemporary culture, and an environmental humanities strand focusing on contemporary representations of climate change and environmental disaster.

She took her Ph.D. at Trinity College Dublin, funded by an Irish Research Council Postgraduate Scholarship, and subsequently held an Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship therefrom 2014-16. In 2016-17 she was a Lecturer in English at Maynooth University. Her work has been funded by the Irish Research Council, Royal Irish Academy, and the Trinity Wellcome Trust ISSF.
