- Homepage ; In May of 2005, I graduated from The George Washington University (GW) in Washington, DC with a Ph.D. in English. Most of my courses at GW and at William and Mary, where I completed an M.A., focused on American literature, but my field of specialization, independent studies, and certain classes in my graduate studies adopted a more geographically expansive purview. The dissertation I wrote was on twentieth-century writers from both sides of the Atlantic and their experiences of exile. Specifically, I investigated how queer sexuality, ethnicity, and national identity intersected in the lives of Christopher Isherwood, Klaus Mann, James Baldwin, and Arturo Islas and how these oppositional forces manifested themselves in their writing.
