Current Research/Articles in Progress
This semester I'm thinking about taking a breather from my ongoing look at power,
slavery and race in Melville (in particular) to write about a very popular movie that
people are talking about!
In all seriousness, my brief research career has been farly focused (I think) so this
semester I'll be trying something new.
