Biography

Lynn Arner is an Associate Professor in the Department of English Language & Literature at Brock University. Her research interests lie in feminist theory, contemporary theory, British cultural studies, and critical university studies, with a particular focus on the academic experiences of women and non-ruling classes in the historical context of English literature. Arner has published a variety of articles addressing gender and class in the professoriate, including examining the dynamics of first-generation university students transitioning to faculty roles. Her book, 'Chaucer, Gower, Vernacular Rising: Poetry Problem Populace 1381', published by Penn State University Press in 2013, investigates the transmission of Greco-Roman literature in late medieval England. Through her work, she offers insights into the cultural significance of poetry and its role in social control during the late medieval period. Before joining Brock University, she held a visiting faculty position at the University of Pittsburgh and has served as a guest editor for a special issue of 'Exemplaria' focusing on late medieval literature.
