About Damian Maher

I am currently a Fellow by Examination at All Souls College, at Oxford University. I will soon submit my PhD on Henry James and the reception of his work among moral philosophers. To that end, I am very interested in discussing works of literary criticism (primarily in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries), and works on art and ethics. I am also interested and have written and presented on a variety of aspects in Queer Theory and Psychoanalysis, and would be very eager to undertake discussions on the topic. I am from Australia and have an abiding interest in Australian and Commonwealth literature, as well as works that look at the interactions between colonialism and culture.
