What I do
I focus on essaying, narrative nonfiction, and memoir, and explore hybridity through both subject and form. My current research is on ecology during the Anthropocene, particularly as a space in which earth science, biology, and cultural studies intersect with global economics and politics. As a reader, I am most drawn to postcolonial and speculative writing, both fiction and nonfiction, as genres in which the complex tensions and nascent possibilities of the present are realized.
