I am Vice President for Academic Initiatives in the Office of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey and Professor of English at Rutgers, New Brunswick, where I have taught since 2007. I was the inaugural Associate Vice Chancellor for Research in the Humanities and Arts in New Brunswick and a former director of the Center for Cultural Analysis, an interdisciplinary think tank for advanced research in the relationships between the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences.
Before arriving at Rutgers, I taught in the English Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. From 1987 – 1991 I attended Wesleyan University, where I received my BA. I also have a Diplôme Supérieur d’Études Françaises from the Université de Bourgogne (1992), an MA in Renaissance Studies and Critical Theory from the University of Sussex (1993), and an MA (1994), MPhil (1997) and PhD (2000) from Columbia University. From 1993-94 I taught in the Département d’Anglais at the Université de Nice.
I have received grants from the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Humanities Center, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the UW-Madison Vilas Foundation, the Whiting Foundation, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
