Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in William & Mary’s English department, a scholar of early modern literature and culture; queer, feminist, and critical race theory; and the medical humanities. My work has appeared in Shakespeare Studies, Shakespeare Bulletin, The Chronicle, Literary Hub, American Theater, The Boston Globe, Catapult, Outside Magazine, and other publications. My current book project, Queer Pregnancy in Shakespeare’s Plays, argues for the transgressive force of pregnancy in his oeuvre and the expansive ways in which early modern people thought about the pregnant body.

• Ode to bad mothers

For a six-month period, I had a depressive episode so acute I don’t remember much of my daughter’s second year. My family and I had moved from New York, a city I loved, because I’d gotten the kind of job you don’t turn down. In my new home, I felt isolated. I missed my younger siblings in New York who helped watch my daughter when I worked or needed a break. I had let my license expire, so I couldn’t drive.
