Professor and Director of Hemingway Literary Center
I teach primarily twentieth-century British literature and literary criticism and theory, as well as modernist, gender, and film studies. I have enjoyed teaching introduction and survey courses on illness and literature as well as food and literature. My publications include articles on Virginia Woolf, H.D., Germaine Dulac, D.H. Lawrence, Dorothy Richardson, and a survey of late modernist literature. “My publications have examined how authors have portrayed the dual traumas of the 1918 influenza pandemic and World War One, particularly in light of the changes in gendered identity it occasioned. My current research interests include the late modernist writers Iris Murdoch and Elizabeth Bowen, specifically their portrayal of insider/outsider figures within constructed communities apart from mainstream culture. I am also writing short fiction in the health humanities in order to explore the experience of displacement that spaces such as the hospital occasion.”
