Biography

My dissertation topic explores the mnemonic potential of performance objects in later medieval English drama. Using a records-based approach to close reading, it attends to the relationship between attention and intention in performance contexts, and how social relations can shape individual interpretation of performance content.

My secondary research interests include medieval mystical literature, devotional literature, and representations of space and place.
