Research Areas
My teaching and research interests include 20th- and 21st-century British and Anglophone literature, ordinary language philosophy, political philosophy, and digital social media. My book in progress enlists literature and philosophy to clarify the idealization of “conversation” as a metaphor and practice central to democratic public life.Publications
