Janet Wilson is Professor of English and Postcolonial Studies in the School of Arts at the University of Northampton. A New Zealander, she formerly taught (1988-1998) at the University of Otago, New Zealand. She has a D. Phil from Oxford (St Catherine’s College (1985)); an MA in Medieval English from the University of Sydney, Australia (1975); an MA in English from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand (1970). From 2010-11 she was Visiting Fellow in New Zealand Studies at Birkbeck ,University of London on secondment, and she now co-ordinates research events in New Zealand Studies at Birkbeck through the New Zealand Studies Network. From 2007-08 she was Senior Research Fellow at the Rothermere American Institute (RAI) at the University of Oxford, and from 2008 –11 an Associate Research Fellow at the RAI.

Janet Wilson has co-ordinated and taught the MA in English Language at the University of Northampton, and also taught on the MA in Modern English Studies, most recently, on Postcolonial Literature and Research Methods. Her undergraduate teaching has covered topics such as New Zealand and Australian  cinema, Victorian literature, English Language. In 2012 she taught Diaspora Studies in the School of Social Sciences to Canadian exchange students on the Canadian Government EU-Can, Transatlantic Exchange Programme (currently run with York and Fraser Valley  universities in Canada, and the university of Munster in Germany).

Janet Wilson’s research interests are in the literary and visual cultures of the white settler societies of New Zealand and Australia, and in diaspora and postcolonial writing more generally. She also works on other topics such as literature and fundamentalism and right wing rhetoric. At present she is writing on adaptation in New Zealand and Australian cinema and on Katherine Mansfield as a (post)colonial modernist, diasporic writer.

Currently Janet Wilson supervises doctoral dissertations on topics such as Postcolonial film, place and space; on recent Chinese advertising and discourse analysis on Samuel Beckett and Emptiness, and on constructions of home in World War One writing. In the past she has supervised several dissertations on postcolonial and diaspora writing. She welcomes applications for doctoral research in all these areas, and those of her current research interests, specifically Katherine Mansfield and diaspora writing.

She currently represents the University of Northampton in a consortium of six universities (Munster, Stockholm, Mumbai, SOAS, and Oxford) funded by EU Marie Curie. The programme in Diaspora Studies called CoHaB (Constructions of Home and Belonging) will deliver Initial Training Networks to early  researchers over the next three years and from October 2012 she will be hosting and supervising an Early Stage Researcher at Northampton.

In the School of Arts Janet Wilson directs the Centre for Contemporary Narrative and Cultural Theory and a research cluster in  Postcolonial Visual Culture and Performance, both in the Division of Media, English and Culture. In 2011-12 she is also fostering Ibero-Spanish links within the Division  and is engaged in research projects with partners in Spanish Universities (Vigo, Zaragoza and the Balearic Isles), supported by Santander funding.

This year (2012) she is convening the following conferences and events:

25 May.  A symposium on ‘”Seeing and Being Seen”: Postcolonial Visual Culture and Performance’, School of the Arts, University of Northampton

6-7 July. The Inaugural Conference of the New Zealand Studies Network, ‘New Zealand’s Cultures: Sources, Histories, Futures’. At Birkbeck University of London co-hosted with the University of Northampton.

25-26 October. Co-convening with Belen Martin Lucas, “Narratives of ‘Difference’ in the Global Marketplace.” At the University of Northampton (with  University of Vigo, Spain).
