Personal Overview
Hi! I just arrived at FIT in the fall of 2023. My research focuses on the global circulation of literary texts and translations in the 20th and 21st centuries. Recently, I've been interested in the ways that algorithms on sites like Amazon influence that circulation and how they might affect what and how we read. My classes, regardless of topic, focus on the interpretation and analysis of texts in a high-trust, low-stress interactive environment. My goal is for students to hone their analytical skills by approaching texts from a variety of diverse perspectives. Please get in touch if you have any questions (or recommendations for things to do for a newbie to Brevard County!).
