Biography

Tamar Katz is an Associate Professor of English at Brown University with a specialization in twentieth-century literature, focusing on modernism, urban literature, memory, temporality, and gender studies. Her notable work includes the book "Impressionist Subjects: Gender, Interiority, Modernist Fiction England," published by the University of Illinois Press in 2000, which explores how literary impressionism reflected broader cultural discussions regarding the role of consciousness and women in both public and private spheres. Currently, she is engaged in a book project titled "City Memories: Modernism and Urban Time in New York City," which aims to reconsider modernism in relation to urban culture by analyzing early-twentieth-century depictions of public spaces and the notion of memory. Katz's research is characterized by a deep engagement with how cities influence literary narratives and how these narratives, in turn, reveal the transformations in urban consciousness. In her teaching, Katz offers courses on contemporary literature, city literature, and gender studies, continuously contributing to her fields of interest through her academic endeavors.
