I am a doctoral student in the department of English Language and Literature at the University of Maryland, currently in residence at Case Western Reserve University as I work on my dissertation.
My particular research areas are cognitive linguistics, particularly the pragmatics of irony and the ways that language is used to coordinate attention, and British Modernism, with a special interest in detective fiction of the period.
