I am a Full-time Instructor of English at The University of Alabama, where I teach English Composition, Science Writing, English Literature, British Literature, Native American Literature, and courses in the University Honors Program.

My research focuses on Nineteenth-Century British Literature, gender and sexuality, embodiment, and the crosscurrents between women’s writing and medical discourse at a critical juncture in the emergence of gynecology as a distinct branch of medicine. My current book project conceptualizes my dissertation, Mid-Nineteenth-Century British Women Writers and Resistive Embodiment as a monograph that explores resistive embodiment in strategies of writing in the journals, short stories, novels, and poetry of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Sara Coleridge, Charlotte and Emily Brontë, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Olive Schreiner. Earlier iterations of the keyword resistive embodiment appear in an article, “Maternal-Child Bonds and Resistive Embodiment in Sara Coleridge’s Writing” in Essays in Romanticism, and my chapter, “Resistive Embodiment and Incestuous Desire in Mary Shelley’s Mathilda” in Romantic Women Writers and Transgressive Sexuality, edited by  Kathryn Ready and David Sigler (University of Edinburgh Press, 2024).

This website contains information about the courses I teach, talks I have given at conferences, recent publications, and online tools for composition. I also share links to digital works-in-progress, including webpages created for viewing samples of student’s multi-modal digital projects. All included student works have been consented to inclusion by generous students and are not to be republished in any manner.

For a sample of my writing on indigenous literatures, please see my article, “When my hands are empty / I will be full: Visualizing Two Spirit Bodies in Chrystos’s Not Vanishing,” in Studies in American Indian Literatures (vol. 31, no. 1-2, Spring-Summer 2019, pp. 83-114.)

Additionally, Children’s Literature remains close to my heart. Read about my visit with the famous editor of A. A. Milne’s writing at A Day in Ashdown Forest with Dr. Ann Thwaite in the ChLA International Committee Blog.

I have presented papers at the International Conference on Romanticism, Health Humanities Consortium, Association for the Study of American Indian Literatures (ASAIL), Interdisciplinary Nineteenth-Century Conference (INCS), British Women Writers Conference (BWWC), North American Society for the Study of Romanticism Conference (NASSR), The Narrative Conference, Victorian Institute Conference, British Association for Romantic Studies (BARS), Children’s Literature Association Conference (ChLA), Computers & Writing, the Samuel Taylor Coleridge Summer Conference, and the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Conference. I will be presenting at British Association for Romantic Studies (BARS) in Glasgow in July of 2024 and the Samuel Taylor Coleridge Summer Conference in Grasmere in July 2024.  For a full list and additional information, please see my curriculum vitae.
