Mollie Bowman

Professional Bio

I am a first-year English M.A. student at Penn State University. My current research interests include early modern literature, with a focus on poetics, imitation and invention, reception studies, and queer and gender studies. I have previously presented conference papers on queer coding in Stephen King’s It, online fatigue in writing labs during the Covid-19 pandemic, and will be presenting on George Eliot’s concept of the authorial idol of John Milton in Middlemarch at the 13th International Milton Symposium. I am an award-winning writing lab consultant who was recognized as one of the top 19 student employees in the nation by the NSEA in 2022.
