He is based in the English-Philosophy Building and contributes to the university’s vibrant literary and research community.

He is deeply engaged with international and multicultural literary traditions, informed by critical thinkers such as Aimé Césaire, C.L.R. James, and Cynthia Enloe.

He directs the Fluxus Digital Collection, demonstrating his commitment to digital preservation and access. His publications appear in respected journals including Modernism/modernity, Criticism, Postmodern Culture, and Jacket2. His current book project, Dark Worlds, investigates how writers, artists, and filmmakers represent covert state operations and the hidden theaters of modern warfare.
Before joining the University of Iowa, he worked in the music industry and held a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship at the Modern Literature & Culture Research Centre in Toronto, Canada. His teaching philosophy emphasizes critical engagement and global perspectives in literary study.
