Michael Mayo is a fellow at Worcester College and a stipendiary lecturer at Exeter College, specializing in modernist literature with a particular emphasis on the representation of belief at both individual and social levels. His research concerns led to the publication of the book 'James Joyce Jesuits' in 2020, where he utilized Kleinian psychoanalysis to argue that Joyce engaged Jesuit theological practices in unique ways that intertwine belief with irony, often in new, depressive, and humorous contexts. He has also contributed chapters and articles to various academic collections, such as 'Any Possible Combination of Events Expected': Epistemology in Sherlock Holmes within 'Mapping Arthur Conan Doyle's Modernities: 1887-1929' (Manchester, 2022), and 'The Transference Case Sacco Vanzetti' published in the Open Library Humanities journal (2020). Additionally, he is the co-editor of Richard Faber's 'Political Demonology' (Wipf & Stock, 2018).
