His current book project, Repeat Engagements: Continuities of Mobility, Modernity, and Form in Travel Writing since the Nineteenth Century, revisits some of travel writing’s most enduring and politically-charged contact zones in an effort to map the unique ways the form seeks to render processes of historical, technological and cultural change.
