A comparatist whose research focuses on Canadian literature in both its national and inter-American contexts, I am especially interested in the relations between national/regional and world literature. In addition, I have worked extensively on aesthetic representations of relations between Indigenous peoples and Settlers in Canada and the Americas, translation, travel writing, and the status of real-world figures in literature.
