A member of the Clemson English faculty since 1995, I have served as Department Chair (2007-2010, and 2013-2017), as Interim Associate Dean of the College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities (2018-2019), and as Founding Director of the Clemson Humanities Hub (2016-2021). As a Fulbright Scholar at the National University of Ireland-Galway (2010-2011) and a Muriel McCarthy Fellow at Marsh’s Library, Dublin (2013), I have taught and researched Milton and colonial Ireland. My book, Milton’s Ireland: Royalism, Republicanism and the Question of Pluralism, will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2024. My current research focuses on archipelagic and transatlantic approaches to colonial plantations.
