About
I am a PhD student at the University of Michigan in the Department of Romance Languages & Literatures. I received my B.A. in French and English from Indiana University Bloomington and am an alumnus of the Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship in France. My research interests include queer embodiment, posthumanism, the history of sexuality, autotheory, the 19th Century fin-de-siècle, and mid-20th Century science fiction. Most recently, I have been thinking about the radical declaration of bodily autonomy in Rachilde’s La jongleuse, the reformulation of the body’s permeablity in midcentury fictions (and histories) of nuclear disaster, and the disruption caused by autoimmune disease of the discrete, unified body.
