About
Marisa is a PhD student in the English department at Michigan State University. There, her research seeks to uncover the trajectory of female detective fiction from its roots in the Gothic through its fin de siècle boom. With a particular emphasis on queerness and empire, she hopes to illuminate the knotty constructions of Victorian identity we are still bound by today. Education
