My interests are Canadian literature and print culture. My doctoral dissertation examined the history of writers-in-residence in Canada, and I am still fascinated by what these programs can tell us about cultural policy, the relationships between creative writers and postsecondary and other institutions, and the production of Canadian literature. I recently co-edited a book, entitled The Finest Room in the Colony: The Library of John Thomas Mullock (2016), on a 19th-century library in St John’s, and I have guest edited a special issue of Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada on “Book Culture in Newfoundland and Labrador” (2010).

I teach Fiction and Academic Writing at ����51.
