I am an Assistant Professor of English and Director of the University Core at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Vancouver. I am also the Director of the Global Scholars Program on the Vancouver campus. For the Fall of 2011, I was Visiting Professor of English at Simon Fraser University. For 2006-2008, I was an Assistant Professor and SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of English at the University of Victoria. I have also taught at the University of Alberta, the University of Lethbridge, Athabasca University, Red Deer College, Lakeland College, and the Durrell School of Corfu. I pursue significant studies in Music as well.

My research interests include Modernism, 20th Century British, American, Irish, and Canadian prose and poetry, reader response, Genetic Criticism, and Terror Management Theory. I have particular interests in Robert Graves, Lawrence Durrell, Henry Miller, Elizabeth Smart, T.S. Eliot, Robert Duncan, George Woodcock, and related authors.

I am currently editing Robert Graves and Aemilia Laraçuen correspondence, as well as a critical edition of the works of Edward Taylor Fletcher, a Nineteenth Century Canadian poet, philologist, and Surveyor General of Québec. I recently completed a critical edition of Oscar Wilde's 1890 version of The Picture of Dorian Gray in conjunction with a facsimile edition, both of which are released under a Creative Commons license for free non-commercial and non-profit use. My scholarly editions of Lawrence Durrell's novels Pied Piper of Lovers and Panic Spring were published by ELS Editions in 2008. I've also recently finished a scholarly edition of the Henry Miller and Herbert Read correspondence (2007), which focused on anarchist influences on English Surrealism. I also study Restoration musical theatre and opera.
