My teaching and research interests include African American Literature, American Cultural Studies in the mid-20th century, and Popular Culture Studies. My courses and professional publications are frequently interdisciplinary, blending examinations of creative nonfiction and memoir, social constructions of race and gender identity, and the cultural impact of mass communication (film, popular music, and related media) on everyday life. I make a special effort in my courses to connect the history of institutions with current events in the present day.
