I am the author of _Abolitionist Geographies_ (2014), co-editor of _Abolitionist Places_ (2013), and author of numerous articles on abolitionism, transcendentalism, Atlantic studies and African-American literature appearing in venues including the _ALH_, _Arizona Quarterly_, _ESQ_, the de Gruyter _Handbook of the American Novel of the Nineteenth Century_, and __Nineteenth-Century American Literature in Transition_. My teaching interests include US literature before 1900, the literatures of US radicalism, indigenous American literatures, and the interdisciplinary environmental humanities.
research interests
My research concerns the literary history of the transnational antislavery movement, both in connection to its local influences and implications as well as its intellectual and political afterlives into the present.
