Gill Lowe began her career teaching English as a Foreign Language, then English and Drama in High Schools and Further Education; then Humanities to adults returning to Higher Education. She has post-graduate qualifications in Education and in Drama- in- Education. As Senior Lecturer at UCS, she leads the following English degree modules: Textual Studies; Children's Literature; Page to Screen; The Short Story, Autobiography and the Dissertation in English.
Whilst studying for her MA in Life-writing, Gill wrote a monograph about Virginia Woolf's mother, Julia Jackson/Duckworth/Stephen; this was subsequently published. While researching, she became interested in the manuscript of Hyde Park Gate News, the Stephen Family Newspaper. These journals were written, between 1891-95, by Vanessa (later Bell), Thoby and Virginia Stephen (later Woolf). Gill published the first edition of Hyde Park Gate News with Hesperus Press. This major project led to a variety of related journal and online articles. Currently Gill is working in nineteenth century archives at Cambridge University and also researching new autobiographical acts, especially those mediated by the internet. She regularly gives papers at national and international conferences.
