I am a specialist in early modern English literature, with a focus on Tudor-Stuart drama. While in graduate school at the University of Chicago I taught at Roosevelt University in Chicago and since then at the University of Manitoba. My research interests include drama and the Reformation, drama and clergy, the early modern city, social-psychological approaches to early modern drama and Shakespeare in the context of contemporary Indigenous political thought and action. I am a past graduate chair in the Department of English, Theatre, Film, & Media. I am a member of the editorial board of The Map of Early Modern London Project, and Secretary of the Canadian Society for Renaissance Studies.
