Sarah Rivett is a Professor in the Department of English at Princeton University. She holds the title of Old Dominion Professor at the Humanities Council for the academic year 2023-2024. Rivett's research focuses on the intersections of religion and secular history, exploring how religious phenomena shape and define the parameters of American literature, including its temporal and geographic boundaries. Her work aims to reveal the voices and stories of marginalized histories, such as settler, African American, and Indigenous narratives, particularly those obscured by settler colonialism. Rivett authored 'Science and Soul in Colonial New England' (2011) and 'Unscripted America: Indigenous Languages and the Origins of a Literary Nation' (2017). Her latest project, 'Raven’s Land: Placing Indigenous Northwest Pacific American Literature,' examines the literary symbol of the raven within both the Judeo-Christian tradition and Tlingit Haida literature in the Northwest Pacific. Throughout her academic career, she has contributed to numerous publications, both as an author and co-author, reflecting her commitment to understanding the complexities of American literary history and its diverse forms.
