Currently I am engaged in a rigorous study concerning issues of madness, disability, and temporality within early modern drama. I use disability theory as a lens to analyze depictions of madness in a variety of early modern plays. The areas of research that continue to inspire me include Early modern literature, Shakespeare, medieval literature, drama, disability studies, temporality, race studies, affect theory, animal theory, and environmental criticism.
