Hello world, again lol! I've left the lovely zirk.us 🎪 for the newly launched hcommons.social. And so, a new #Introduction!

I'm an assoc prof at #UBC (University of British Columbia) in #Vancouver, where I teach classes on #RussianLit, including one on Soviet #scifi 📚 I'm a #LitStudies scholar who works on 19thC Russian literature and #gothic literature. 👻 In April I published a book about the way that Russian realist writers use gothic narrative forms in their work 📖 I'm working on a new book about reading #climatechange across the long 19C 👩‍💻 I also am working on a project called #DigitalDostoevsky that uses #digitalhumanities methods to analyze #Dostoevsky texts 🕵️‍♀️ I'm a member of the #DataSittersClub too! 💜

On the birdsite I have tried to be a good advocate for #Ukraine through amplifying ways to support and cultural resources 🇺🇦 I will continue to do that here

Even. More. Hashtags: #litodon #histodon #victodon #ecocriticism #GothsAssemble #academiamastodon #booktwitter
