    #introduction

    I'm an English prof with specialities in #americanlit, #womenslit, and all things #LGBTQ. Currently I oversee a large group of #living-learning programs for the University of Maryland, which is surprisingly fun. The pandemic made me a player of word games and a baker of Bundt cakes. I watch politics and media closely and worry a lot about the future of American democracy, but I crack jokes a lot, too. And I have two cute #Dogs. Howdy.
