About
I am the 2017-2018 Mendota Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in the English Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a 2017 Humanities Without Walls National Fellow. I earned my PhD in English Literature at UW-Madison, with a specialization in Performance Studies and Visual Cultures and a minor in Fine Art and Creative Writing. My book project, Conceptual Theatre, explores the political potential of thought experiments in African American avant-garde closet drama and feminist performance art. I am also a practicing multimedia artist, and I have curated several grant-funded public arts and humanities symposia, workshops, and performances. Education
