I am a graduate student in the English Department at the University of Texas at Austin where I study eighteenth-century English and Irish literature, book history, and imperialism. Currently, I am an assistant director of the Computer 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.
