Current Students (2026-27)

I regularly advise M.F.A. and Ph.D. candidates in English, as well as undergraduate Honors English majors who seek to graduate summa cum laude. I also serve on the examining and dissertation committees of students with an interest in the environmental humanities in a variety of fields, such as Writing Studies, American Studies, Communication Studies, and Conservation Biology. If you fall into one of these categories and would like to work with me, I would be happy to discuss your interests with you in more detail.
