Biography

Carole Lynn Stewart is a Professor and Graduate Program Director at Brock University, specializing in English Language and Literature. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Victoria and has taught at the University of Calgary and the University of Maryland before joining Brock in 2010. Her research primarily focuses on American and African American literature, with a keen interest in cultural theory. She has published significant works analyzing the role of American civil religion and its critical views within early American African American authors. Her book 'Strange Jeremiahs: Civil Religion Literary Imaginations' explores this theme, as does her later work, 'Temperance Cosmopolitanism: African American Reformers Atlantic World', which delves into transnational perspectives on temperance movements, particularly those driven by African American reformers in the nineteenth century. Carole's interdisciplinary scholarship also investigates critical eating studies, cultural foodways, and their environmental relations. She welcomes student supervision in various areas, including critical race theory and transnational literature.
