She received a BA in English with honors from the State University of New York at Purchase, a PhD in English and a certificate in Women's Studies from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
My scholarship focuses on celebrity studies, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British literature and culture, with an emphasis on theater, and on women writers, including Jane Austen, Frances Burney, and Elizabeth Inchbald. I teach courses relevant to those subjects as well as courses on literary genres, including comedy and satire and detective fiction, women's studies coureses, and courses on film.
