Background

Her research interests intersect between Jewish Studies, Early Modern Literature, and Mimetic theory.  Her latest project focuses on scapegoating and the ability to map those occurrences through literature. This concept first came to fruition in her dissertation, The Lesser of Two Evils: The Misidentification of the Jew in Elizabethan Literature. She loves her research and passion is a great motivator. This is the same idea she tries to convey to her students – study what they love and enjoy every second of it.
