About

I am a scholar of nineteenth-century British and American art with a particular focus on empire in its many forms.

In 2025, I joined the faculty in the Department of Art and Art History at Georgetown University, where I teach modern art, modernism, and art in relation to queer and postcolonial theory. On this site are links to some of my publications & my CV. Please get in touch with me directly with any inquiries.
