Supervisory and research interests
My research is primarily in the field of early English drama, although my interests in queer theory and performance theory, and in religious studies, often lead me to work with more contemporary material. I have supervised theses on topics ranging from medieval and early modern theatre and culture to gay Canadian drama.
Courses taught
I have taught courses on medieval and early modern literature, early English drama (including Shakespeare), biblical theatre and film, gay Canadian theatre and film, and queer performance.

Remarks
I am currently serving as Interim Chair of the Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies, but continue my involvement in EFS in various ways, including graduate supervision and the occasional reading course. My current central research project is a student edition of the Towneley Plays, a medieval collection of biblical plays from northern England.
