I am an assistant instructor of literature and composition at the University
of Texas at Austin, where I am completing my doctorate in English, specializing
in the long 19th century. I am seeking a position that will allow me to teach
literature classes, especially the
literature of the nineteenth century,
while supporting me
in my continuing research and publication.
My dissertation examines how
Queen Victoria helped strengthen early feminism by virtue of
her prominent position, her character, and her often-overlooked
patronage of certain proto-feminist movements. I will defend my dissertation in February of 2005 and will graduate in May.
