My research and writing span the Russian intellectual-historical sphere, addressing Russian and comparative literary, philosophical, and social-aspirational interactions. My teaching and research are both especially committed to fathoming the Russian utopian mind (i.e. what polity do Russians imagine for themselves?). For the last 15-20 years, embracing all these kinds of Russian writing, my focus has turned toward the question of “imagined geographies” in Russian writing culture.

Professor of French; teach and write on French documentary film and 20th-21st century cultural studies and French cinema more generally.

My academic focus is on the editorial processes invlolved in the life writings of Victorian women. In addition to being an RA, I am a technical editor for a government-contracting firm. As a digital humainist in a communications-based role, I am always looking for opportunities to deepen my understanding of web accessibility tools and standards!
