I am an Associate Professor of Teaching in the Department of English Language and Literatures and Chair of the Coordinated Arts Program. My research has generally focused on contemporary American poetry and its relation to crisis and memory; more recently, my scholarship has turned toward pedagogy and I am exploring pedagogies of poetry, considering methods for incorporating cultural studies of poetry into the classroom. I am also working on several initiatives to promote equity in scholarly communication at UBC, including through the development of my TLEF-funded online teaching resource the PASS (Precedents Archive for Scholarly Speaking). I have articles published in English Studies in Canada, Memory Studies, Tulsa Studies in Women’s Literature, Pedagogy, Contemporary Literature, Discourse and Writing/ Rédactologie, College English, and the Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. I am a proud recipient of a 2023 Killam Teaching Prize.
