Biography : 

My research focuses on the Mediterranean’s overdetermined geography in Renaissance imagination. Through study of dramas and travelogues, I examine issues of religious conversion and cultural mutability tied to contemporary anxieties regarding Ottoman expansionism. I am especially interested in the influence of classical narratives on early modern Orientalist representations of the Islamic world, particularly discourses of Venus and the Trojan tradition.
