#introduction:

I teach US lit (#AmericanLiterature) & other things at #NYU English. I write abt c18/c19 lit cultures (NY/New England) and post-1949 #art worlds (#NYC #Downtown). For the last 10 yrs I lived #inAbuDhabi & taught at #NYUAD & thought a lot abt global #highered, but I'm back in NYC full time, adjusting. I've been a parent my whole adult life. I like hot yoga.
