Research
I am a graduate student in the English Department at the University of Texas at Austin where I study eighteenth-century Trans-Atlantic literature, book history, and imperialism. Currently, I am an assistant director of the Digital Writing and Research Lab. I have also worked as a graduate research assistant at the Harry Ransom Center, where I helped to curate two exhibitions -- "Norman Mailer Takes on America" and a special exhibition to highlight the Ransom Center's James Joyce Collection for the 2007 James Joyce International Conference, Joyce at Texas.
Teaching
I am currently teaching for the English Department. I have also taught for the Department of Rhetoric and Writing. Click here to view my teaching web pages. I have also been an instructor for SPURS, a joint venture between UT’s Department of Rhetoric and Writing and Division of Diversity and Community Engagement. The program pairs lower-division writing classes at UT with 11th grade AP English Language and Composition classes in Texas high schools. Before entering graduate school, I was a teaching fellow in English at Phillips Andover and an English teacher at Convent of the Sacred Heart High School in San Fransisco.
