PhD, McMaster University

Restoration and Eighteenth-Century British Literature and Romanticism. Animal Studies, Ecocriticism, Sustainability, Resilience, Experiential Education, and Contemplative Pedagogy.

Since I’m employed as a lecturer, I don’t do much research anymore. That said, I’m considered an ‘expert’ on eighteenth-century British labouring-class poetry, ecocriticism, and animal studies. I publish work occasionally and peer-review for journals and publishers.
