Biography
My research interests include Early Modern Literature, Shakespeare Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Linguistic Approaches to Literary Study. My Master’s research at McGill University focused on female leadership in Shakespeare’s plays and how these fictional monarch characters influence society’s conception of female leaders such as Elizabeth I and Hillary Rodham Clinton. My SSHRC-funded doctoral research explores sexual consent in Early Modern drama and contemporary theatrical and cinematic adaptations.
