Scholarship and Biography

I am Assistant Professor of English and Writing in the Arts & Humanities Department at the University of Olivet in Michigan. I specialize in Black feminist theories, American literature and visual culture, gender and sexuality studies, and pedagogical method. In 2023-2024, I served as Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow for the seminar "Imperiled Bodies: Slavery, Colonialism, Citizenship and the Logics of Gender-Based Violence," co-led by Anita Hill, Harleen Singh, and ChaeRan Freeze at Brandeis University. My research appears in The Black Scholar and ASAP/Journal, and I am completing a book manuscript on Black women’s spectatorship across page, stage, and screen in the post-Civil Rights era. I earned my PhD at the University of Oregon (‘22, advisor Courtney Thorsson) and my BA/MA from the University of British Columbia in Canada.
