Research interests: 20th- and 21st-century anglophone literature; transnational modernisms; postcolonial studies; literature and the arts; affect and aesthetics; history of the novel.

My current research focuses on mediations of nationalism through music in twentieth- and twenty-first-century fictions. My teaching more broadly explores links between aesthetic experience and political imaginaries through narrative and media forms.
