Claire has peer-reviewed research published by leading academic journals and publishers in her field, including an article in Literary London and chapters in edited collections published by Palgrave Macmillan, including on the work of Kurt Vonnegut, Will Self, and the postmodern techniques of Scottish author Alasdair Gray. She has also co-organised an international conference, ‘The Art of Punk’ in which she presented a paper which considered the punk poetry of John Cooper Clarke and the work of Patti Smith. She is currently in the process of finalising a monograph entitled London Fiction at the Millennium: Beyond Postmodernism which considers new theoretical perspectives by which to approach London literature through an investigation of postmodernism, the post postmodern, feminist and postcolonial readings of literature at and around the turn of the twenty-first century.
Claire is also working on a number of other projects, including focusing on representations of class in contemporary literature, and is co-organising a conference on women writers and class to be held at the University of Northampton.
