Professional Bio

Caitlyn Georgiou's research focuses on narratives of violence in American literature and pop culture from the twentieth-century to the present. Caitlyn is Co-Editor of a scholarly online edition of Eric Walrond's Tropic Death, a project that seeks to make Walrond's writings more accessible by providing tools for study like a clickable glossary and side-by-side, color-coded comparisons of revisions. She recently published a piece in the Winter 2024 issue of Teaching American Literature called "'Flung out of space': Teaching The Price of Salt's Evovling Transgressive Footprint" (pp. 105-111). Her current book project examines suicide, self-harm, and violence in literature, and she hopes it will provide scholars and teachers across disciplines new tools of analysis for handling literary self-violence with greater understanding and care.
