She specializes in the literature of the eighteenth century and issues of gender, sexuality, and embodiment. Her current book project examines the ways in which female cross-dressing narratives re-negotiate categories of gender and sexuality in the long eighteenth century. She has previously written about issues of embodiment and desire in the novel Belinda in the article, “Bosom Friends and the Sapphic Breasts of Belinda,” published in ABO: Interactive Journal of Women in the Arts, 1640-1830, and, more recently, her article “Eighteenth-Century Female Cross-Dressers and Their Beards” appeared in the Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies.
