Dissertation Title: Gothonomics: Romantic Gothic literature in Britain and Economic Revolution (tentative)

Supervisor: Dr. Robert Miles

I am a PhD candidate studying British Romantic literature and digital humanities. My SSHRC-funded dissertation investigates intersections between Gothic literature and Romantic-era economic thought. I represented the Humanities at UVic’s 3MT finals in 2016 and enjoy sharing my work with the community and at national and international conferences.

I am completing the Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (LATHE) certificate and have taught courses in academic reading and writing and nineteenth-century British literature. My teaching interests include digital pedagogy, open scholarship, and teaching beyond the literary canon.

Scholarly community and collaboration are important to me, and I have served as president of the English Graduate Students’ Society (EGSS) at UVic and as a postgraduate representative for the International Gothic Association (IGA). I am currently a co-chair of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism (NASSR) Graduate Student Caucus and the Open Scholarship Facilitator in the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL).
