From 2019 to 2023, he was a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow in the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations, Queen Mary University of London.

Research Interests
David’s research centres on modern and contemporary literature and film, and includes a focus on intercultural comparison. He is currently completing a project on nostalgia and popular culture in Britain and Germany since the late 1970s. Much of his work has to do with the built environment: as part of the ‘Infrastructural Narratives’ research project, he has written about structures including the QE2 bridge and the M11 link road in east London. His doctoral research explored the depiction of English landscape and townscape (especially London) in literature and film, and his book Landscape and Subjectivity in the Work of Patrick Keiller, W.G. Sebald and Iain Sinclair was published by Oxford University Press in 2020.
