Dana Glaser, Humanities Fellow at the University of Chicago

 

Hi, I'm Dana. I'm a Humanities Fellow in English and the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at the University of Chicago. My scholarship is concerned broadly with the aesthetic dimensions of thought and the modern intellectual history that shapes the critical language we have to describe it. I focus on feminist theory and 20th century American literature, with an emphasis on nonfiction texts and genres. My first book in progress is about radical feminist style and the ambivalent appeal of strong (paranoid, suspicious, militant, muscular) theorizing about gender, called Abstract, Literal, Reductive: How Feminism Thought.
