I joined UC Berkeley's English department in 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 and reading practice. 

My book manuscript Behaviorism, Consciousness, and the Literary Mind is coming out from Johns Hopkins University Press in November 2021 (series: Hopkins Studies in Modernism). I also have work that has appeared in, or is forthcoming from, journals such as Critical Inquiry, ELH, Novel: A Forum on Fiction, and PMLA. 

I am beginning a new project on moral philosophy, aesthetic value, and modern British fiction and film.
