Overview

Personal Pronouns:
(she/her/hers)

My primary area of research is twentieth and twenty-first century American literature with a focus on Science Fiction and critical interests in the Posthuman, Critical Race Theory, Disability Studies and Women and Gender studies. For instance, I published widely on topics such as materiality in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, transhuman bodies, (dis)ability and de/colonialization in Nisi Shawl’s Everfair, the posthuman in HBO’s Westworld, dystopian technology in Netflix’s Black Mirror, and the biopolitical control of (post)human bodies in Minster Faust’s War and Mir in journals such as Fantastika Journal, Femspec, Messengers from the Stars: On Science Fiction and Fantasy, and the SFRA Review.
