Curriculum Vitae
(166.96 KB)
I write and teach about the global circulation of nineteenth-century British literary texts and genres, with a special focus on George Eliot, as well as the archival history of English studies. With Lars Atkin (Kent), I recently co-edited a special issue of Victorian Periodicals Review about "Race and Transnationalism in Victorian Periodicals Studies." I am currently (2025) a Maddock Research Fellow at Marsh's Library in Dublin, and was recently a visiting scholar at the University of Galway. My chapter, "The Making of Middlemarch," is forthcoming in The Routledge Companion to George Eliot. I'm also a contributing editor to At the Circulating Library: A Database of Victorian Fiction, 1837-1901. My recent publications include "Middlemarch in Melbourne" (George Eliot-George Henry Lewes Studies 73.2 (Fall 2021)) and "Undisciplining through Contemporary Novels: Re Jane, Parasite, Jane Eyre" (Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom). My dissertation, "The Global Migrations of George Eliot and Charles Dickens: Books, Newspapers, Archives," won the UW Graduate School Distinguished Dissertation Award for 2022 and the UW English Department Heilman Dissertation Prize.
