Research Interests
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of English and American Studies at the University of Vienna. In 2022, I completed my Ph.D, where I explored the intersection between migrant literature, poetics, and the philosophy of movement, culminating in what I called a "kinopoetics". My current book project considers theological, ontological, and political anarchisms in 19th Century British Literature. I am also an associated member of the “Mobile Cultures and Societies” research platform. I have scholarly articles published or forthcoming in ARIEL, Poetics Today, Deleuze and Guattari Studies, New Formations, and Incontri; and my public writing has appeared in Jacobin, ROAR Magazine, Monthly Review, The Millions, and Dissident Voice.
I am a huge nerd when it comes to narrative, representation, theory, and poetics, especially as they intervene in bigger questions of power, subjectivity, ideology, and critique. I am happy to meet with students to discuss any of these topics, along with related concerns about literary and cultural studies.
