My current research interests include cli-fi in fiction and on screen, the financialization of domestic space in US screen culture, the aesthetics and affects of cuteness, and theories of post-cinema. Recent books include Interviews: Todd Haynes (UP of Mississippi, 2014), Extreme Weather and Global Media (co-edited with Diane Negra, Routledge, 2015), American Mobilities (Transcript, 2016), Post-Cinema: Theorizing 21st-Century Film (co-edited with Shane Denson, REFRAME, 2016), and The Aesthetics and Affects of Cuteness (co-edited with Joshua Dale, Joyce Goggin, Anthony McIntyre, and Diane Negra, 2017). I am now working on two monographs: Cultural Affordances of Cli-Fi: 21st-Century Scenarios of Climate Futures and Home Economics: The Financialization of Domestic Space in Recessionary US Screen Culture. Other current projects include the edited collection Feminism's Indelible Mark: Women in the Work of Todd Haynes, with Theresa L. Geller (in preparation).

This book is, in a way, my doctoral dissertation; however, in place of four of the original chapters, I have substituted (with permission) the four peer-reviewed journal articles that grew up out of them, along with the remaining two unpublished chapters, constituting a kind of greatest hits of my early career that ranges from text written as a doctoral student to the reworked and often hardly recognizable revisions produced under the rigors of an early career academic, and under the guidance of anonymous reviewers and generous colleagues. Thus American Mobilities is a published record of my doctoral research, completed at the University of Washington between 1995 and 1998, and then substantially revised over the subsequent years.
