CURRENT RESEARCH:

My research investigates the convergence of communist theory and literary and artistic production since the global economic crisis of 2007-08. My thesis, “The Communist-Literary Conjuncture,” is a generational and autotheoretical project that accounts for the unfolding possibilities and contradictions of a life like my own, shaped by the university, by social movements, by social media, and by the production and circulation of interpersonal experimental, online writing about it. 

I am also writing a hybrid work, tentative title “Justin Bieber Mode of Production” (JB MOP).
