Research Interests
My research interests include the history of children's and young adult literature, with a particular interest in the politics of "problem novels" and the representation of HIV/AIDS across American popular culture from the 1980s to the present.
Teaching Interests
I teach critical approaches to children's and young adult literature. I am also passionate about teaching students how to engage with theory in order to develop robust argumentation in their thoughts and writing.
