Research Interests
My research interests involve Canadian cultural production, social justice movements in Canada, literary history, textual studies, digital humanities, and modernism. I have published in the journals Canadian Literature and Canadian Poetry: Studies, Documents, Reviews. I have a scholarly edition of Ted Allan's Spanish Civil War novel, This Time a Better Earth, forthcoming from University of Ottawa Press. My current book project, The Deed Becomes the Word, is a study of Canadian anti-fascist representations of the Spanish Civil War.
