Agnes Malinowska is an Assistant Instructional Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Chicago. Her teaching and research focus on American literature and culture from the late nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on the histories of gender, sexuality, and their intersection with race and class. Malinowska is particularly interested in women's cultural production and feminist political struggle, examining themes such as biological and social reproduction, motherhood politics, and the dynamics of domestic and sexual labor. Her work investigates how U.S. cultures regulate citizenship and national belonging through biopolitical modes, including the histories of eugenics, sterilization, and immigration policies. In her courses, she explores queer and trans theoretical, literary, and cinematic investigations of history, temporality, affect, intimacy, and the political struggles surrounding sexuality. Malinowska is a proud member of Faculty Forward/SEIU Local 73, representing contingent faculty at the University of Chicago. Her recent courses include focused studies on queer time and space, analyzing the implications of queer theory's interventions in political and ideological discourses around temporality and identity.
