About
My research focuses on Shakespearean stage performance, Shakespearean literary studies, and gender in Shakespeare analyzed through the lens of psychoanalytic (Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva), feminist (Judith Butler, Kaja Silverman, Sara Ahmed), and postcolonial (bell hooks) theories.
I am developing research projects in the areas of trauma theory, YA dystopian fiction, virtual reality, and feminist pedagogies. Currently, I am involved in a research project intersecting all of these areas and I am writing an article deconstructing the Lacanian gaze through operatic performance.
