<\/a>Supervisions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My work in Canadian and postcolonial literatures is fundamentally interdisciplinary, bridging historical periods, literary genres, and national boundaries. As a result, I have been able to supervise and serve on the committees of Honours students, MA, and PhD students working on topics as distinct as: anti-apartheid and post-apartheid writing; Yoruban Missionary translations; Australian fiction; Asian North American writing; Indigenous literary history; Cree epistemologies; the Newfoundland diaspora; blogs; multimodal art; Canadian war art; rhetoric of health; Anglo-Indian Romance novels and the Raj revival; South Asian Canadian writing; South Asian partition narratives; the archives of J.M. Coetzee, Ryerson Press, and the Vancouver Poetry Society (separately); Haitian fiction; nineteenth-century Canadian environmental writing; Canadian modernism; American modernism; Danish postcolonialism; Mennonite writing; Canadian Englishes, and other topics.<\/p>\n
