Welcome! I am an Associate Professor of English at Villanova University and affiliated faculty with Irish Studies and Gender and Women’s Studies. I am the author of Modernist Fiction and Vagueness: Philosophy, Form, and Language and co-editor of Eliot Now, a group of revisionary approaches to the works of T. S. Eliot. I have published essays on Henry James, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Irish Modernism, #MeToo and Modernism, Fanfiction, and T. S. Eliot. 

My work has been supported by fellowships from the Harry Ransom Center, the Huntington Library, and the Beinecke Library. In 2019-2020, I was a Visiting Fellow at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford. I am a four-time lecturer at the T. S. Eliot International Summer School.. My current book project, The Love Song of Modernism, focuses on modernism and fanfiction.  I received my Ph.D. from Yale in 2008.
