My fields of specialization are American literature, especially early
American studies, women's literature and culture and feminist studies. I teach
interdisciplinary courses in the Women's and Gender Studies, Comparative
Literature and Jewish Studies Programs, which bring together literature,
critical theory, and various media. My goal is to encourage critical thinking
about the past, present and future through the examination of culture.
