Dr. Michelle Sizemore is Associate Professor of English in the College of Arts & Sciences. Her research focuses on the irrational features of democracy in late-eighteenth-and early nineteenth-century U.S. literature and culture. She is the author of American Enchantment: Rituals of the People in the Post-Revolutionary World (Oxford University Press, 2018) and is currently completing her second book, Irritability, which examines unpleasant political feelings in nineteenth-century American literature. She teaches courses on a range of topics, time periods, and national traditions, most recently a class on censorship called “Reading Dangerously“ and a class on the Dark Academia literary genre.
