CURRENT RESEARCH

I am currently finishing revisions on a book project, Beautiful Mechanism, focused on the Victorian culture of the “skeptical sublime,” that examines Victorians' fearful romance with the microscope. A companion volume, A Portable Vastness, in progress, explores the social and professional circulation of microscopy, engaging debates on community, locality, nationality, and empire. In other work, I am studying how nineteenth-century British novels and medical texts begin to use and resist using visual quantitative narratives, specifically tables, charts, and statistics.
