Book Project
I am currently at work on my first academic book, entitled Forms of Affiliation: Disability Life Writing and the Socialization of Care, which considers how disability life writing (by writers ranging from Audre Lorde and Anne Boyer to Essex Hemphill and Sarah Schulman to Eli Clare) imagines the socialization of care through the formalization of networked affiliations that counter the neoliberal privatization of care within the enclosure of the family.

Journal Articles
I am working on a number of scholarly articles that explore the various functions of form: from how disability studies has failed to theorize literary form to how Sarah Thankam Mathews' All This Could Be Different formalizes relations of care that emerged during the pandemic to how Sean Baker's films formalize the enclosure of sex work.

Special Issues
I am co-editing (with Christina Fogarasi) a special issue of the Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies that will offer a critical reassessment of David T. Mitchell and Sharon L. Snyder’s foundational concept of “narrative prosthesis” after twenty-five years.
