teaches at Lynchburg College in Virginia, specializing in sixteenth and seventeenth-century poetry and drama. His interdisciplinary work focuses on the relationship between literature, subjectivity, and politics. His dissertation project, “Religious Melancholy and the Lyric Subject: the Politics of Conscience,” traces a melancholic strand of early modern selfhood, which considers the ways in which the Reformation left individuals vulnerable to coercion. He is the Assistant Technical Editor of the Journal for Culture and Religious Theory. His work has also been generously supported by The Folger Shakespeare Library’s “Researching the Archive” seminar. He holds a Ph.D. candidate at University at Buffalo, SUNY.
