Thomas Bailey
PhD studentResearch Overview
My primary areas of research are narratology (the study of narrative) and reader-response theory, focusing in particular on readerly immersion: how this is prompted by the text and maintained via imagination.
My research offers a model by which to conceptualise this process by synthesising the philosophical work of reader-response critics with contemporary research in the field of cognitive science.
The cognitive focus of my work allows for interdisciplinary collaborations across a range of fields, but particularly with psychology.
In my current PhD research, I apply this model to biblical literature of the sixteenth-century, connecting my work on immersion with the term’s roots in a Christian-religious context.
Current Research
In my current PhD research, I apply my proposed conceptual model for the study of immersion to biblical literature of the sixteenth-century, connecting my work on immersion with the term’s roots in a Christian-religious context.
Beyond my doctoral studies, I plan to undertake a series of studies moving from the sixteenth-century to the contemporary period, in an effort to understand how the concept of immersion – its experience for readers as well as its perception – has changed across time.
