My primary research and teaching interests are in modern American cultural, intellectual and literary history. Much of my recent work investigates the interplay of mid-twentieth-century African American writing and American intellectual formation. Additional teaching interests include theoretical traditions related to the study of race and ethnicity, the history of American Studies and the impact of transnational affiliation on American writers.
