Department of English

My primary research interests are in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British and Irish fiction, with interdisciplinary connections in religious studies, psychoanalysis, and music. My dissertation, tentatively titled “Lessons in Modernity: The Novel and Nostalgia for the Sacred,” focuses on theorizing the history of the Anglophone novel with specific attention to the interrelated problematics of religion, secularism, and modernity. Before coming to Brown, I was the recipient of the 2021-2022 Gould Studentship in English Literature at Trinity College, University of Cambridge and a Trustee Scholar at the University of Southern California.
