Profile
My scholarship has been focused within three primary arenas: narrative theory and the novel, with a particular interest in women writers; eighteenth-century European studies; and gender and sexuality studies. I am currently pursuing projects in the history of sexuality, in representations of the French Revolution, and in Israeii-Palestinian narratives.
