Candidate statement
Professor, Department of English, Borough of Manhattan Community College/City University
I am Professor of English at the Borough of Manhattan Community College. My second book, The New Physiognomy: Face, Form, and Modern Expression is forthcoming in Spring 2024 from the Studies in Modernism Series at Johns Hopkins University Press. My first book,Modernist Impersonalities: Affect, Authority, and the Subject (Palgrave 2012) has galvanized a renewed interest in the politics and aesthetics of “impersonality” in modernist studies, and my work on faces, modern expression, and physiognomy has appeared in PMLA, Journal of Modern Literature, and Criticism. My other professional interests (besides teaching) include faculty (especially mid-career) mentoring, as well as tenure and promotion mentoring. I currently mentor a cohort of new lecturers across CUNY on both professional and pedagogical development. As a newly appointed member of the board of directors of the CUNY Research Foundation and the Faculty Advisory Committee to that board, I am very interested in the meaning of “research” for faculty at community colleges and at high teaching load institutions. I hope this experience regarding faculty engagement (and my knowledge of the barriers to it) to the MSA Board
