Francesca Sawaya

Email Dr. Sawaya at fsawaya@ou.edu


Professor Sawaya's research and teaching interests focus on nineteenth-and twentieth-century American literature and culture, women's writing, and feminist criticism and literary theory. Her published work includes essays on Jane Addams, Pauline Hopkins, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Frank Norris. Her book manuscript, "Working Through Modernity: Domesticity, Professionalism, and Women's Writing", examines the ways that women from the 1890s to the 1940s combined the discourses of domesticity and professionalism in order to shape interchangeably their writings and their work. Professor Sawaya teaches classes in nineteenth- and twentieth-century American literature and in contemporary literary theory.
