My dissertation, "Kalendes of Chaunge:
Thinking through Change in Middle English Poetry,"
surveys the representations of chaunge and
eschaunge (interchangeable terms in Middle English)
in fourteenth and fifteenth-century literature,
particularly as they relate to female figures of
transformation and substitution. Currently, I'm working
on representations of gender, sexuality, and the female
voice in medieval English lyric poetry. Other research
interests include Chaucer, medieval women's writing,
film and film theory, and pop culture studies.
