Biography

Kate McCullough holds a joint appointment in the Feminist, Gender, Sexuality Studies and English departments at Cornell University. Her recent book, "Time, Time: Narrative Form Queer Sensorium," examines intersections of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and diaspora in twentieth- and twenty-first-century queer fiction, particularly exploring how narratives represent queer temporality. Through her analysis, McCullough highlights how various texts challenge conventional understandings of time and narrative form. Her work delves into the ways queer subjects navigate experiences of exile, diaspora, and transnational migration, considering the impact of personal and collective histories on contemporary literary expressions. Additionally, her previous publication, "Regions of Identity: Construction of America Women's Fiction, 1885-1914," provides insights into how women's literature has shaped cultural discourses around national identity. Currently, she is engaged in a project focused on contemporary Irish fiction and its broader cultural contexts.
