Thrilled to see this Review Essay nearing publication in postmedieval. In 'Whiteness made visible: Recent Work in Premodern Critical Race Studies', I review four fascinating books on whiteness in art history, fiction, and drama, ranging from the medieval period to the twenty-first century.

During the course of this year, I am available to give invited talks at Departmental seminars, symposia and the like. My research is now developed enough to shed new light on the role of walking in theatre history, but still pliant enough to benefit from the input of scholarly conversation.
