I hold degrees in literature and the interdisciplinary humanities from Stanford. I am interested in poetics, embodiment, pleasure, globality, histories of art and science, and our fascination with moments. I am also currently interested in dreams and learning Tamil.

My essays deal with topics such as

• the sense of an event in contemporary poetics

• Agnes Varda and the metaphorology of subsistence

• the self-consciousness of a Franciscan friar in 1570s New Spain

• medieval Kashmiri realizations
