My areas of specialization include twentieth and twenty-first U.S. literatures, fiction of the U.S. Southwest, inter-American studies, and globalization theory. While I am particularly interested in the hemisphere, my work also examines ways in which humanities and social sciences scholarship intersect in their conception of the contemporary moment. I am the author of Border Fictions: Globalization, Empire, and Writing at the Boundaries of the United States (U. of Virginia Press, 2008), which explores cultural productions about the U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico in the context of inter-American studies and theories of globalization. I am also the editor of Globalization on the Line: Culture, Capital, and Citizenship at U.S. Borders (Palgrave, 2002) and have published essays on immigration, border theory, literatures of the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders, and on the internationalization of American studies in edited volumes and in such journals as American Quarterly, South Atlantic Quarterly, Comparative American Studies, Arizona Quarterly, and Diaspora. I am currently at work on another project on comparative immigration and transnational adoption to the Americas.
