Author Biography

Jason Finch, Åbo Akademi University / Academy of Finland

I am Lecturer in English Literature at Åbo Akademi University (permanent position). Between September 2012 and August 2015 I am on research leave from that position having been awarded a postdoctoral research position by the Academy of Finland. The title of my project there is 'The discursive construction of the "London Slum" 1820-1960, a literary history'. From February to July 2014 I am a visiting researcher in the School of Geography at Queen Mary, University of London.
