Dr. Amy Montz, Professor of English, delves into the rich tapestry of 18th and 19th-century British literature, gothic literature, young adult literature and queer literature through her research and teaching endeavors. With a keen focus on feminist theory, Montz explores the intersection of literature and societal norms, shedding light on the evolving roles and representations of gender. Additionally, her expertise extends to the realms of fashion and fashion theory, where she unravels the intricate connections between attire and identity, past and present. Complementing her scholarly pursuits, Montz's exploration of archival ephemera provides invaluable insights into historical contexts and cultural narratives. Her multifaceted approach to literary studies not only enriches academic discourse but also resonates with broader cultural conversations surrounding gender, identity and representation.
