I am Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Yale University.

My work pursues connections across literary experiments from the 20th and 21st centuries and across media forms. I am interested in how technologies affect our understanding of literature, both in terms of aesthetics and reading practices. My first book project, Digital Modernism: Making it New in New Media, reads contemporary works of digital literature in relation to literary modernism. My current research focuses on how 21st-century literature—both in print and online— responds to the threat of an increasingly paperless and multimodal society.
