Candidate statement
Associate Professor of English, New York Institute of Technology
As Second Vice President, I would take an active role in shaping the Modernist Studies Association’s future as a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive organization. I bring experience as co-chair of the local organizing committee for the 2023 Brooklyn Conference, postponed from 2020. I also served on the Book Prize Committee for Editions, Anthologies, and Collections in 2021 and on the Program Committee three times. Since 2004, I have been a frequent presenter and organizer of sessions at MSA conferences.
My scholarship as an Associate Professor of English at New York Institute of Technology has focused on modernism and twentieth-century literature. In 2020, I published the monograph Annotating Modernism: Marginalia and Pedagogy from Virginia Woolf to the Confessional Poets. I am co-editing The Poems of Sylvia Plath, a new, scholarly, annotated edition of Plath’s Collected Poems, with Karen V. Kukil, for Faber & Faber (2025) and supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additionally, I have held leadership and advisory roles in modernist organizations. I was Vice President of the International Virginia Woolf Society (2021-3) and am on the International Advisory Board of the Modernist Archives and Publishing Project (MAPP) and the Editorial Board of Bloomsbury Academic’s Modernist Archives Series.
