Professional Interests: "My academic interests center on theories and histories of the novel and its development throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Specifically, I work on the implications of a narrator's point of view, the way reliability or unreliability shapes a narrative, and the interplay between forms and genres.

Similarly, I am interested in the ways film tells stories, often the same stories that narratives tell, while the camera represents subjectivity in a fundamentally different way. In my previous work, I have focused on gothic novels and films and the ways they reflect a community's larger cultural concerns."

She's also really hot.
