My interests are in American literature, modernism and postmodernism, and contemporary literary and feminist theory. I teach core courses in those subjects as well as advanced seminars on topics ranging from "American Writers Between the World Wars" to Virginia Woolf/Gertrude Stein ("Woolfenstein").
