Research summary

My current research interests involve a renewed examination of Canadian writer Robertson Davies’s religious leanings. I am also interested in peripheral or literary-adjacent figures such as Christian William (Bill) Miller, an American party boy who frequented literary circles in America in the 1940s. As Miller was often photographed, the latter has allowed me to incorporate my love of analog (film) photography.
