About
I am a literary scholar specialising in American history, literature and culture. My research focuses on the U.S South and the Caribbean, with specific attention to how race and gender relate to environmental issues.
​
I mainly teach literature, writing, and gender studies. I also dabble in history, anthropology and cultural studies.
​
I have lived in Paris, the U.S South, and New England. Wherever I go, I bring with me my notepads, my camera, and my cat Armand, who, like most New England cats, sports a few extra toes on his front paws.
