I’m a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in the Department of English and in the College at the University of Chicago.

I specialize in Anglophone literature and art from the late nineteenth century to the present, with a focus on modernism as an expansive artistic movement in American, British, and certain transnational contexts. My work has been published in nonsite.org and JMMLA and is forthcoming in Modernism/modernity and Mediations.

My current book project, The Market Architecture of Modernist Fiction, argues that a distinct strain of Anglo-American modernist fiction spans the twentieth century and persists today in a variety of works that have successfully internalized and turned to their own ends the market logic of capitalist modernity.
