About
I study contemporary American culture with a focus on how the representation of drugs in fiction, memoir and television allows writers to navigate the conflicting demands of a saturated cultural marketplace. I received the 2018 Michael Pueppke Writing Prize for outstanding graduate student essay from SMU.
My interests include:
- 20th- and 21st-century American literature
- Drug novels
- Politics
- History
- Neoliberalism
- The war on drugs
