My work focuses on contemporary American & Anglophone literature, film, and graphic narratives with an emphasis on the environmental humanities, gender studies, and textual form. I am currently working on my dissertation, tentatively entitled “Detection: U.S. Land, Body, and Text as Sites of Nuclearity,” which traces representations of radiation and its lingering corporeal & ecological dangers in a variety of American multi-modal narratives. I am equally concerned with how the author or artist of a nuclear story chooses to convey content, setting, and characters as with the content, setting, and characters themselves. When I am not reading and writing, I love hiking with my rescue pup, discovering craft beer, and finding new blueberry muffin recipes.
