I am an Assistant Professor of English and Director of the University Core at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Vancouver. For 2006-2008, I was an Assistant Professor and SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of English at the University of Victoria. I have also taught at the University of Alberta, the University of Lethbridge, Athabasca University, Red Deer College, Lakeland College, and the Durrell School of Corfu. I pursue significant studies in Music as well.

My research interests include reader response, Genetic Criticism, Terror Management Theory, and Modernism with an emphasis on Robert Graves, Lawrence Durrell, Henry Miller, Saul Bellow, Elizabeth Smart, T. S. Eliot, and related authors.

I am currently editing the correspondence between Robert Graves and Aemilia Laraçuen, as well as a critical edition of the works of Edward Taylor Fletcher, a Nineteenth Century Canadian poet, philologist, and Surveyor General of Québec. I plan to complete a critical edition of Oscar Wilde's 1890 version of The Picture of Dorian Gray in 2009. My scholarly editions of Lawrence Durrell's novels Pied Piper of Lovers and Panic Spring were published by ELS Editions in 2008. I've also recently finished a scholarly edition of the Henry Miller and Herbert Read correspondence (2007), which focused on anarchist influences on English Surrealism. I also study Restoration musical theatre and opera.
