Prior to receiving his Ph.D. at The Ohio State University, he earned an M. A. and a B. A. in English from the University of Georgia. His published research focuses on British literature and culture in the early half of the twentieth century. In addition to helping to ignite modern interest for forgotten queer British authors, he also has a growing interest in U. S. LGBTQA+ history and literature. He joined UA’s Safe Zone training team in the fall of 2014 and is a member of Capstone Alliance, UA’s organization for LGBTQA+ and allied faculty, staff, and graduate students. He can generally be found in his office in Morgan Hall (213) or wandering around in the bookshelves of Gorgas Library.
