Bio/Research
I research and teach primarily in the fields of science studies and literary non-fiction, with one emphasis on how science, literature and art emerge in related ways at given historical moments—for example, in the similar forms expressed by relativity, Virginia Woolf, and Picasso in the modernist period. I have also studied utopian literature in some depth—particularly feminism utopian literature—to uncover the utopian logics that inform a variety of contemporary theoretical paradigms. In my teaching of literary non-fiction, I examine how devices typically associated with fiction inform and structure a number of non-fiction forms, including the lyric essay, new journalism and the memoir.
