She teaches undergraduate modules on contemporary fiction, modern science fiction, literary theory, critical argument, grammar & style, and leads seminars on post-war writing, the historical and neo-avant-garde, and postmodernism for the MA in English Studies.

Jeannette's main research interests are in twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature, particularly the post-war novel, Holocaust writing, contemporary fiction, and the relationship between literature and the visual arts. Recent publications include articles and essays on J. G. Ballard, Angela Carter, Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro, Primo Levi, Postmodernism, and Modernist literautre. She is the author of 'J. G.
