Dr Christian Lloyd is the Academic Director at Queen’s University (Canada) Bader International Study Centre in East Sussex. His PhD, taken at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, centred on contemporary Irish Poetry and cultural theory, but he later began to write about Popular Music with the encouragement of Prof Sheila Whiteley.
In 2016, his monograph Hendrix at Home: a Bluesman in Mayfair was published by Handel House. This book accompanies the recreation of Hendrix’s London flat, and was followed up with several public lectures at that site and elsewhere in the UK.
Christian is currently working on a longer book about Hendrix. He has taught or co-taught courses on poetry, cultural theory, urban studies, British studies, and Anglo-Jamaican cultural exchanges.
