I am a specialist in seventeenth-century literature, early modern cultural studies, and women's writing. I also have additional expertise in religious literature, and electronic text and cyberculture. My PhD research looked at the intersections of witchcraft and prophecy in early modern English culture. My current work expands this focus to other issues of spiritual messiness in Early Modern England as well as the creation of digital tools to search metadata encoded in early English texts. I am also a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher, and a veteran of bureaucratic life, at both the departmental and university-wide level.
