Research

My research and teaching interests cover poetics, theory, American literature, and environmental ideas. Most recently, I have published books on understanding extinction (What Is Extinction? A Natural and Cultural History of Last Animals, 2023) and existential risk (Calamity Theory: Three Critiques of Existential Risk, co-written with Derek Woods, 2021). I teach courses on environmental literature, contemporary philosophy, poetry, and American literature.
