Bio
My research in Literary and Cultural Studies focuses on dramatic literature, performance, and the culture of playgoing in early modern England. Recently, I have presented papers on affect in the theatre, bodies of size on the early modern stage, and silent film adaptations of Shakespeare. Before coming to CMU, I taught composition and literature at Jackson College, City Colleges of Chicago, American Islamic College, and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and worked as a performer, dramaturg, and education manager with professional theatre companies in Michigan and Chicago, IL.Education
