My research focuses on the experience and expression of time and temporality in creative writing of the twentieth-century. I am interested in viewing time in literature through diverse and eclectic theoretical and philosophical lenses including, but not limited to: globalization and postcoloniality; disability and madness; ecology and the environment; and childhood and youth studies. I have written two books on time and literature: The Cosmic Time of Empire<\/em> (University of California, 2011) and Time, Literature, and Cartography After the Spatial Turn <\/em>(Palgrave, 2016) as well as numerous articles and book chapters on the subject in such venues as Literary and Cultural Studies of Disability, James Joyce Quarterly, Modern Fiction Studies, and Modern Language Quarterly<\/em>. In addition to a range of advanced undergraduate courses in the English Department, I regularly teach for the Childhood and Youth Studies Program. I am a published creative writer, with short pieces in The New York Times<\/em> and Santa Monica Review<\/em>, as well as a conservatory trained actor, with extensive experience in stage, screen, and voice acting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
