His research focuses on the media of conversion and the early modern English stage. He is the author of The Media Players: Shakespeare, Middleton, Jonson, and the Idea of News (University of Michigan Press, 2015). Other projects of note include a new edition of The Merchant of Venice for Internet Shakespeare Editions (co-edited with Janelle Jenstad) and the digital humanities project, DREaM, a database that indexes 44,000+ early modern texts, thus making long-neglected material more amenable for use with large-scale analytical tools (with St fan Sinclair and Matt Milner).
