I am an Assistant Professor in the Literature Section at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Previously, I was a member of the Society of Fellows at the University of Michigan. Before this, I held a one-year appointment as the Gillespie Visiting Assistant Professor of English at the College of Wooster. I received my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Literary Theory at the University of Pennsylvania, and my M.A. in Critical Theory and B.A. in English Literature from the University of Sussex.
