Assistant Professor

Department of English and Comparative Literature

Bio: Her interest in Southern history, including Confederate monuments, lynching narratives and visual art, have led to a number of presentations in partnership with UNC’s Carolina Public Humanities. She looks forward to expanding this work with research on white nationalist literature and peacebuilding initiatives through the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University. Her recent manuscript, “Auschwitz and the Plantation: Labor, Sex, and Death in American Holocaust and Slavery Fiction,” concerns how representations of slavery and the Holocaust contribute to American socioeconomic discourses. She has received a number of national awards to pursue this research.
