Alison’s first book, The Literary Afterlives of Roger Casement: 1899-2016, is forthcoming with Liverpool University Press. Her interdisciplinary research engages with the literature and culture of the long twentieth century, sitting at the critical intersection between sexuality studies, memory studies and postcolonial theory. She has particular interests in: migration, diaspora and the postcolonial Atlantic; haunting, intertextuality and memory; and the afterlives of colonial and (bio)political violence.

Her research has been supported by the European Commission, the Irish Research Council, UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, the British Academy, the Leverhulme Trust, the Wellcome Trust, the Irish Association of American Studies, the US-UK Fulbright Commission and the Royal Historical Society.
