Biography
Email address: m.s.morris@dundee.ac.uk

Research
My research examines Scottish connections with slavery and the black Atlantic. This work began with my monograph, Scotland and the Caribbean, c. 1740-1833: Atlantic Archipelagos (Routledge, 2015). This analyses the presence of the Caribbean in historical and fictional Scottish writing and considers the Scottish Creole figures Robert Wedderburn and Mary Seacole.
Teaching
I currently teach across English and History on modules such as
Romantic to Victorian Literature
Early Modern Literature
Scotland and the Wider World
Making History
Globalizing World
