My research interests span both the 20th and 21st centuries and lie at the crossroads of three broad theoretical trajectories: genre theory; political philosophy; and the conjunction of transnationalism and the ethical philosophies of Levinas and Derrida. In terms of locale, the focus of my research is primarily the United States and as regards period, it ranges from the late 1940s (with the recession of the Old Left) to contemporary times, including the cultural imaginary of the U.S. after 9/11.
