I maintain active research interests in early modern studies, literary theory, writing program administration, and composition studies.

As an early modernist, my work focuses on dramatic literature and character theory. I am the author of Shakespeare and the Truth-Teller: Confronting the Cynic Ideal (Edinburgh 2019) and I am working on a new book project dealing with literary realism and politics.

After serving for five years as faculty in the Princeton Writing Program and three years as the founding Director of the Writing Center at The Graduate Center, CUNY, I have also formed a range of research interests in composition pedagogy and graduate writing support. I have an article in development on the unique role graduate writing centers can play in helping students with disabilities pursue their advanced research in ways that center crip time. In collaboration with my staff, I am also at work on an interactive online resource that assists academic writers with practical strategies for doing the hard work of revision. We hope to continue this project with research that combines pedagogical theory with qualitative assessment of user experiences.
