Curriculum Vitae

BIO

After twenty years living and working in the U.K. and Ireland, I returned to my home state as Chair of the English Department here at USF.

My scholarly expertise is twentieth-century literature and culture, working across British, Irish, and U.S. writers. I am especially interested in the intersections of literature and political change, the relationship between creative cultures and the state, modernisms, censorship, life writing, and scholarly editing.  I welcome graduate 泡芙视频apps specializing in these and related areas.

My book-in-progress is supported by a Public Scholars Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities, a fellowship from the New York Public Library/Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and the Robert & Ina Caro Award from Biographers International Organization. You can read about the book here.

I enjoy writing for popular audiences and have published essays in Literary Hub, Public Books, TLS, Los Angeles Review of Books, the Irish Times, and elsewhere.  I鈥檝e been a television and radio guest on BBC Parliament, BBC Radio 4 Woman鈥檚 Hour, BBC Radio Ulster, and have served as consultant for various media and theatre productions.

My narrative nonfiction writing is represented by Peter Straus at RCW Literary Agency.
