Martin joined the School of English, Communication and Philosophy at Cardiff University in September 2015 as Professor of English Literature. His research focuses on literature, science and medicine, 1800 to the present. His present research is focussed on two inter-related areas: first, the medical, scientific and cultural meanings of sleep; and second, representations of natural and unnatural sound and noise in literature, art and culture.
He is a former Chair of the British Society for Literature and Science and the current Editor of the Journal of Literature and Science.
Keir works at the intersections of the social history of medicine and the environmental humanities. His work focuses on how communities respond to the environmental challenges around them. He has published books and articles on: rural public health, diseased meat (tuberculosis and BSE), medicine and charity, history of psychiatry. Having completed a book for Palgrave on the social history of medicine in Europe from 1500 to the present, he is currently working on projects related to: rural public health, drought and the everyday, and interdisciplinary ways of working.
