Bio

I am a 27 year old doctoral student at Binghamton University in Comparative Literature currently adjuncting at Luzerne County Community College and King's College, as well as finishing my dissertation on post-modern and modernist apocalyptic literature. I have a B.A. in English from Loyola Maryland with minors in philosophy and business entrepreneurship.

The dissertation is mostly on Lawrence's Apocalypse, Agamben's The Coming Community, and the works of Emanuel Levinas regarding revelation. Thomas Pynchon is probably the most enjoyable read these days.

Recently found the space, so I'll be the Wilkes-Barre sporganizer for the Evolver network, but I'm still looking for any help out there as the network truly depends on us if it is to flourish.
