Research Interests

       My research interests include ways in which justice and equality are portrayed in Children and Adolescent literature. I am also interested in methods that would improve the interdisciplinary connections that exist between English and the social sciences and ways in which teachers can foster and develop these connections. Finally, I am interested in anything Harry Potter.
