I am a teaching associate and PhD candidate in English at Fordham University. My dissertation is entitled “The Einstein Phenomenon: Modern American Literature and the Popularization of Einstein’s Relativity Theory,” and I plan to defend in September 2012. In addition, I am the Project Coordinator for the Keywords Collaboratory and website associated with the book, Keywords for American Cultural Studies (edited by Bruce Burgett and Glenn Hendler, NYU Press 2007).
