Dr Pam Thurschwell

Biography

I began teaching at Sussex in 2007 having previously taught at University College London. I've also taught and/or studied at Cambridge, Cornell, Yale and Sussex (I did my MA here in 1990-91).

Role

Senior Lecturer in English

I have worked on the intersection of psychoanalysis, interest in the supernatural at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, and new technologies. I have also published on popular culture and film. My current project, about representations of adolescence in literature and culture, is tentatively titled Out of Time: The Temporality of Adolescence in the 20th Century.
