Research
[Poetics, 20th Century Poetry, Media Theory, Digital Studies, Material Text Studies, Remediation, Glitch Studies]
My research blends a study of poetry and poetics with work on digital and network cultures, material text studies, and media theory. I am particular interested in the ways methodologies of reading shift and proliferate across different media, formats, and genres. I believe that taking a materially invested approach to reading, and reading works that exist in forms across different media can reveal the underlying architecture of the media environments. Mapping this movement and examining the rapid hybridization of media creates a way to reimagining and reconsidering the networks of relations between humans and their technologies.

The Fabrication of Fluidity
︎Glitch, Remediation, and the Protocols of Reading
My dissertation argues for a form of reading contemporary poetries that is attentive to the specificity of material conditions, noting aesthetic and technical glitches in varied textual environments. By turning towards the sites of transfer, recoding and remediation, it becomes possible to see the material workings of the larger cultural systems that texts are sourced from.
