I joined UC Berkeley's English department in 2015. I received my PhD from Rutgers in 2012 and was an assistant professor at the University of Toronto from 2013 to 2015. My research interests include: 20th- and 21st-century British literature; literature and philosophy--especially philosophy of mind and moral philosophy; the history of the novel; literary history; and the history of criticism. 

My book manuscript Behaviorism, Consciousness, and the Literary Mind is under review. I am beginning a new project on moral philosophy, aesthetic value, and modern British fiction and film.
