​​My work builds webs across and through the fields of modernist studies, feminist science studies, feminist theory, women’s sports and contemporary culture. I have published on graphic memoirs and disability, sex-gender testing, racism, and transphobia in women’s running, dildonics and prosthetic gender in the work of Ernest Hemingway, and on British-Mexican artist and writer Leonora Carrington’s inhuman human. I am currently revising my first book manuscript, which articulates a theory of the modernist “bodymind” grounded in the body and concerned with the spirit, based on a reading of a system of thought called Gurdjieffianism.

In my teaching, I pull from a range of media objects to engage students and prompt more incisive questions about gender, sex, race, class and the politics of literary canon formation. I construct my syllabi with an eye towards encouraging my students to examine their own standpoints, biases and differences, and enhance their critical capacities and facilitate their use of different media and creativity. I am fascinated by the flexibility and capaciousness of language and the many genres and styles of argumentation and writing, and I try and share that enthusiasm with my composition students.
