I am an Assistant Professor of Literature at Bard College. Prior to this, I was Lecturer in English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University and a Junior Fellow at the Society of Fellows, Harvard University. My work is principally about 19th-century British literature, intellectual history, and the history of science. I'm also interested in the literature of South Africa (and transnational Anglophone writing more generally), especially with respect to issues in animal ethics and the environmental humanities. 

As of 2020, I will be section co-editor of Nineteenth-Century Networks for Literature Compass.
