I am a senior lecturer and docent in English literature. My research interests include nineteenth-century literature and culture, women, gender, and sexuality, critical and feminist pedagogies, and the environmental humanities, especially the blue humanities. Before coming to Lund, I taught at universities in Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Beijing.
