My work lies at the intersections of literature, gender, and race, though I’m interested in all of the identities that humans hold and how those identities affect what and how we read. The questions I often ask my students are: Whose stories get told? Who gets to tell them? and Who decides? These questions are important because they ask us to consider who controls the narratives that help form our ideas about people. Mainly though, I want to help my students love reading, claim their voice in their writing, and become agents of change in this world.
