English Professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. I did my undergrad work at Bryn Mawr College, and my PhD at Goldsmiths College, University of London. (I also lived, worked, and taught in London for 12 years.) At present I am working on my second book; my first is called Postcolonial Satire. I spent a lot of 2024 on a sabbatical, wandering the world with my collapsible bike helmet and ukulele. Now in 2026 I am teaching at Temple University Japan’s new Kyoto campus.
