Hi! As an academic, I specialize in British literature from 1750-1850 - the turbulent historical period called the "Romantic Century" - and in 21st Century science fiction and fantasy. I'm interested in the ways that literature has shaped our understanding of empire, community, and the natural world. You can learn more about my first scholarly book, An Empire of Air and Water: Uncolonizable Space in the British Imagination, 1750-1850 (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2015), here. I'm currently at work on a new project on environmental agency in the 19th Century Anthropocene. 
I also write and publish speculative fiction, which often draws on my scholarly research into the history and culture of the British Empire. If you'd like to know more, please don't hesitate to contact me!
