Job Title: Full-Time Lecturer
Office number: Humanities 2113
Office hours: MW 10:25-10:55am, 5:00-6:00pm, and by appointment
Research Interests:
My research investigates the interplay between nineteenth-century literature and other sites of knowledge production, illuminating how rhetorical and epistemological frameworks forged in that period continue to frustrate efforts to make language and institutions more equitable. I have published articles in Literature and Medicine, Victorian Network, Poe Studies, and Literature Compass, and am currently working on two book projects. The first draws together literature, the history of science, sound studies, and disability studies to position gothic soundscapes as sites of resistance to scientific authority. The second brings together conversations regarding writing pedagogy, museum education, and colonial legacies to consider how Victorian museum practices developed at the height of British imperialism continue to shape contemporary institutions.
