My work focuses on human and nonhuman survival in the late 18th-century and early 19th-century poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. I am interested in survival as the ineradicable remainder of disaster and its relation to queerness, disability, and Blackness. My writing examines how these socio-historical formations affect narrative and genre, reshape thought, and contribute to new resistance practices in the work of Mary Shelley,  William Wordsworth, Jane Austen, and Mary Prince.
