Patricia Malone is a scholar of modern and contemporary literature. She currently works at Queen’s University, Belfast, where she obtained her PhD. She has also held posts at the University of Sheffield and the University of Edinburgh. Her forthcoming monograph, Novel Forms in the Twenty-First Century (Edinburgh University Press), explores the construction of the contemporary, contexts of the attention economy, and the capacities of text as technology. Other research interests include expanding understandings of harm and its articulation beyond clinical accounts of trauma; processes of affective shift; and the distinctive paradigm of partition as a colonial strategy.
