About
I believe in doing critical research that is linked to creative application and adaptable outcomes.
I am an Assistant Professor of English at Allan Hancock College and hold a Ph.D. in English from the University of California, Riverside. In both my scholarship and my pedagogy, I approach textual and archival material in innovative ways in order to establish a dynamic understanding of eighteenth-and nineteenth-century literature.
My scholarly work is driven by a commitment to material preservation and accessibility, highlighting diverse perspectives, through the digital humanities in an effort to decolonize literary studies. In this process, I reassess long-held theoretical, generic, and period-focused positions on key concepts and works. I am committed to research that makes materials at risk of deteriorating or becoming forgotten accessible to a wider public, and I aim to access underrepresented critical perspectives on scientific progress and the expanding British empire.
In both my research and my course design, I aim to create an inclusive environment for scholarship and study in English.
My goal is to employ writing and critical thinking as tools for student success both in and beyond the classroom. I believe in the power of academic research and in using the classroom as a place to both engage with scholarship and to develop professionally.
