Biography

In my SSHRC-funded project, "Reading the Rheme," I develop a theoretical reading practice to interpret literatures of place amid periods of environmental and economic change. I have a collaborative specialization with the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies. My work is interdisciplinary, and I am interested in approaching literature using linguistic methodologies.
