Bio/Research
In addition to my new position at Laurier, I am a book reviews editor for Early Theatre and a fellow at the Centre for Renaissance and Reformation Studies (University of Toronto). I completed my PhD in Comparative Literature at the University of Southern California in May 2017.
My primary research studies early modern drama of England, France, and Italy (but especially Shakespeare). I am interested in drama’s negotiations with early modern science, including discourses of bodily determinism, disease, and epistemology. My first book addresses issues of affinity and sociopolitical hegemony in relation to early modern discourses about the workings of blood [Thicker Than Water: Blood, Affinity, and Hegemony in Early Modern Drama published with the Strode Studies for Early Modern Literature and Culture at the University of Alabama Press (2023)].
More recently, I have begun a second, interdisciplinary research program on the nature and ethics of romantic love. My co-author (Michael Milona, TMU) and I received a SSHRC Insight Grant (2025-28) to fund this project.
