I am an assistant professor of English at Emory University where I specialize in Victorian literature and culture.

My current research project focuses on the intersection of the Victorian novel and legal theories of contract. An article drawn from this research appears in Victorian Studies.

My teaching areas include Victorian literature, law and literature, and literary and cultural theory.

I hold a PhD in English from Duke University, a JD from Harvard Law School, an MA in English from Georgetown University, and a BA in political science from Carleton College.
