My research focuses on Irish, British, and transnational modernisms. My monograph-in-progress, “Plurabilities of the City,” investigates the construction of metropolitan cosmopolitanism in modernist and contemporary novels. In addition to my monograph, I am currently working on editing a volume of essays on Virginia Woolf and Transnationalism for the Virginia Woolf-Variations series published from Edinburgh University Press. I am also interested in the intersections of modernist studies and blue humanities. My work has appeared in James Joyce Quarterly, European Joyce Studies, Modernism/Modernity Print+, and various edited collections. I completed my PhD from the Department of English, University of Notre Dame. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA.email: schattop "at" unc "dot" edu
