Candidate statement
PhD Candidate, Stony Brook University
I have earned a BA in English Literature, Master’s Degrees in English and in Irish Studies, and I am currently a fourth year PhD Candidate in English Literature. My work focuses on Modernism and other 20th Century literary movements, particularly in Ireland. Having written theses on James Joyce and Modernist social movements, my current research makes innovative connections between classical Modernism and gender. I am currently working on a dissertation which re-reads 20th century literature through the lens of girlhood studies, a broad but relatively small field.
In addition to my research and teaching responsibilities, I served as the secretary of the James Joyce Society for three years, before assuming the position of Vice President of the JJS, a role which I currently hold. In this position, I aid the JJS in promoting the research of emerging scholars and underrepresented voices in the world of Modernism and Joyce studies.
