Professional

Student - University of South Carolina

     I am studying for a PhD. degree in English at the University of South Carolina. The English department is located in the John R. Welsh Humanities Office Building, but my office is in the Welsh Classroom Building, pictured to the left. My research interests lie in Modern American Literature, specifically Southern Literature. My Master’s thesis involves the relationship between personal identity and family identity in Dorothy Allison’s Bastard out of Carolina.

     I serve on the planning committee for the 20th Century Conference that USC holds every Spring. It brings professionals as well as graduate students together to share ideas on various issues in the literature of both America and other countries in the 20th century. You can visit the web site from last year's conference, designed by yours truly.

     For those who may be interested, here are a few titles of my favorite papers from my work in the Master’s program at Carolina (no, I won't tell you what grade each one earned):
