Research Interests

I have taught courses on travel literature, utopian writing, the French 18 th-Century novel, feminist theory, literary theory, 17th- and 18 th-Century French theater, the rise of "civility," Paris, comparative literature, as well as French phonology and composition. My book Sexual Antipodes: Enlightenment Globalization and the Placing of Sex considers how Enlightenment print culture built modern national and racial identity out of images of sexual order and disorder in public life. My current work focuses on the migration of stories and people in the eighteenth century. I have been involved in promoting interdisciplinary exchange through the Program in Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies.
