As a literary scholar, I focus primarily on nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century British literature and culture, and I also have a background in eighteenth-century British literature and the digital humanities.

As a scholar of teaching and learning, I am dedicated to in these subject areas as well as composition and rhetoric, with an emphasis on technology-based pedagogies. For me, my diverse research and teaching agendas coalesce around issues of agency and power. I am especially fascinated by how these issues shape both the literatures we teach and study as well as our lives outside the classroom and the library.
