Annaliese Hoehling, PhD, MFA

My doctoral research focused on global modernism, narrative form, and feminist aesthetics. Drawing on postcolonial studies and twentieth century representations of conflict, I define a Baroque Modernism at work in experimental narratives during the interwar period in Anglophone Atlantic novels by women. More recently, my interests have turned to representations of crime in narrative forms, including fiction, nonfiction, and visual media, especially as these narratives reflect and shape our understandings of identity and cultural capital. At Elmira College, I teach first-year writing and literature, with topics of my courses ranging from Aliens Among Us? to Education, Metamorphosis and 20th Century British Women Writers. I am particularly concerned with writing studies and composition pedagogy related to first-year writing curricula and the first-year college experience. My goal is to facilitate critical thinking and reflective writing that helps students become intellectual and community leaders at EC and beyond.
