You can see a strictly chronological C.V. at my Hope College faculty page, but here I’ve grouped my publications and conference presentations (many of which are from works in progress toward publication) according to my main areas of study.
Note 1: Some items appear on multiple lists.
Note 2: There is no separate Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies tab, because gender studies is the framework I bring to almost every project.
Note 3: If you lack institutional access to any of my publications, please feel free to contact me.
