It was really cool to see a packed house for our very first #philosophy and #literature event yesterday afternoon (had to add chairs!), with Robert Pippin providing an excellent lecture on our search for meaning in the arts, with a focus on film. Nigel Hatton, who organized the event, will be part of the new philosophy department at #UCMerced if that gets approved, and will be organizing more events on #LiteratureAndPhilosophy going forward. Stay tuned at https://philosophy.ucmerced.edu/events

A new #introduction after switching servers. (The other server was weird and made it difficult to find people!) I'm an associate professor of #VictorianLiterature and #NovelStudies at #UniversityOfToronto and #UTM. Interests include #QueerTheory, #Psychoanalysis, #LiteratureAndPhilosophy. Reviews editor at Victorian Literature and Culture. You can find my book BAD LOGIC at Johns Hopkins University Press. Working on THE GROUNDS OF THE NOVEL, about the novel's metaphors of fictional being.

My #introduction. I’m a scholar of #VictorianLiterature, #NovelStudies, #GenderAndSexuality, and #LiteratureAndPhilosophy at #UniversityofToronto. Who knows whether I will use this site any more than I do Twitter, which is not a whole lot!
