Associate Professor of English
My current reseach investigates the ways in which performativity operates globally through governments, multinational corporations, and international organizations, and also how it is being engaged by networks of artists, activists, and others seeking local and global justice.
I also head a major Digital Humanities initiative at UW that connects faculty, staff, and resources across campus and beyond.
I teach courses in performance, cultural theory, new media, and civil disobedience.
