Research

My work is concerned with the ways in which literature and art have been used as tools to shape racial, social, and sexual minorities in the French Colonial Empire. It has appeared in, among others, Nineteenth-Century French Studies, Nineteenth-Century Contexts, MLN, Nottingham French Studies and Dix-Neuf, Journal of the Society of Dix-neuviémistes.

Teaching

At Gettysburg College, I teach beginning through upper-level French language courses, as well as topic courses focusing on nineteenth-century through twenty-first culture, society, and literature. I also occasionally teach in the First-Year and Sophomore Seminar Programs.
