Tom White is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow in the English Faculty. His research interests range broadly across medieval and early modern literature, the history of media and technology, and critical theory. He is also interested in the burgeoning field of the energy humanities and the role of contemporary art in a time of climate crisis; an article on Hull's year as 2017 City of Culture that engages both of these topics was recently published in the Open Library of Humanities.
