About
I am an associate professor of English Language & Literature at the University of Michigan with a courtesy appointment in Women & Gender Studies. My first book Modernism and the Locations of Literary Heritage (Cambridge UP 2008; paperback 2012) studied the emplacement of literary/readers’ memory and the musealization of writers’ lives in England as components to early-twentieth-century urbanization and as contexts for understanding modernist literature. My second book project studies graphic arts in relation to modern literature from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. Recent articles have appeared in modernism/Modernity and Women: A Cultural Review. I teach courses on topics ranging from modernism to contemporary literatures, across media and genres, with emphasis on women writers and social history/gender politics. More information on teaching interests, research areas, and publications can be found on this webpage.
