Associate Professor. B.A., Philosophy and German, Agnes Scott College; Ph.D., Comparative Literature, Princeton University

Professor Brinks teaches courses in British Romanticism, the Victorian period, literary theory, gothic literature and film, and colonial and postcolonial literatures. Her research explores the cultural context of gender and sexuality and the tensions between individual and social expressions of identity. She has published numerous essays, including ones on women and seventeenth-century cartography, on the intersection of economics and sexuality in contemporary film, on the presence of the aesthetic in Winnicottian object relations theory, and on gothic representation and traumatic history. Her book, Gothic Masculinity, appeared in 2003 with Bucknell University Press. She is currently at work on a book-length project on Anglophone Indian women writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
