I'm a writer from Toronto, and a doctoral candidate in English literature at the University of Cambridge.
I studied Comparative Literature and German at the University of Toronto before moving to England for an MPhil in English Criticism and Culture at the University of Cambridge. My master's dissertation focussed on pedagogy and/as literary criticism in the context of the so-called method debates. My PhD project is broadly about the mouth, exploring the relationship between discourses of dearth and charity ("feeding the hungry") and literary education and production in the vernacular ("the mother tongue") in the early modern English imaginary. It's funded by the AHRC and was awarded an honorary Cambridge Trust Doctoral Scholarship.
I like thinking and writing about hunger, pedagogy, queerness, the movies, materiality (esp. textual and culinary), maternity (esp. breastfeeding), masculinity, and the apocalypse.
