Modernists see, interpret, and represent the far and wide transformations in the early 20th century in their works. Women writers in this age of great change, in particular, portray characters seeking their identities through painful experiences up against social, cultural, and political inequalities, which literally and figuratively constitute "Voyage in the Dark". My research focuses on studying how gender role pressure and representational differences arising from gender difference pan out in the works of women modernists from the British Empire such as Katherine Mansfield, Jean Rhys, and Virginia Wolf.

My research interests include critical theory, global Anglophone modernism, histories and theories of the novel, and climate fiction. My book, The Late Modernist Novel: A Critique of Global Narrative Reason, shows how late modernist writing incorporated empirical structures into the novel to expand the genre beyond the political framework of the nation. I am currently working on a set of essays on contemporary feminism, Marxism, and climate fiction. I have also written general audience reviews for Public Books, The Guardian, and the LA Review of Books.
