Summary Statement of Research Interests
|
|
Professor Schor studies contemporary fiction, feminist theory, and representations of women in Victorian literature. Her research efforts focus on gender studies, film and popular culture, law and literature, and twentieth century fiction. She is the author of studies of the novelists Elizabeth Gaskell and Charles Dickens, as well as essays on "character trials," Victorian spectacle, voice-over narration in novels and film, and Jane Eyre as a victim of sexual harassment. She is currently at work on a study of women, curiosity and the novel, which extends her reach far beyond her grasp, into 17th century poetry, 18th century epistolary fiction, 19th century fairy tales and optical devices, and 20th century time-travel films. In 2006-7 she served as Dean of Undergraduate Programs for the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences. She is currently co-director of the Center for Law, History, and Culture, a joint center sponsored by USC College and the Gould School of Law.
