 Education: Ph.D. Candidate, Indiana University (Bloomington, IN). A.M., University of Chicago (Chicago, IL). B.A., University of Massachusetts, Amherst (Amherst, MA).  Image Source: Cap and Gown (Chicago, 1895) Research Interests: I am a graduate student in English at Indiana University currently working on late nineteenth-century (fin-de-siecle) American literature. My research attempts to understand American culture and intellectual history through the study of literary texts such as autobiographies and novels. I apply techniques and insights from psychoanalysis, the study of material culture, and phenomenology. My work thus far has concentrated on Henry Adams, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Mark Twain. Currently I am writing a dissertation examining these issues and authors under the title of The Awkward Age of Autobiography: American Self-Representation 1865-1915. | ||||||||||||||||||||
