About
I am currently an Associate Professor of English at Washington University in St. Louis. I'm also an Affiliate Faculty member in the Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and I'm involved with the Humanities Digital Workshop here. With funding provided by the Center for the Humanities, I coordinate C21 STL: An Interdisciplinary Faculty Seminar on The Contemporary.
Research
My research interests include 20th- and 21st-century British and Anglophone literature, especially the novel; women's, gender, and sexuality studies; life writing and letters; archival theory and methods; modernism; the contemporary novel; queer historical fiction; temporality and age studies; the literature of environmental crisis; and digital humanities theory and methods.
Teaching
I am on research leave for the 2021-22 academic year. In Fall 2022, I will be teaching undergraduate classes on “Contemporary Women Writers” and “Modern Texts and Contexts,” and, in Spring 2023, Danielle Dutton and I will be co-teaching a graduate seminar on “The Archive in Theory and Practice: Archival Fiction, Docupoetics, and Critical Fabulations,” and I’ll also be teaching “Introduction to Literary Theory,” one of the required courses for the English major here.
