Hassan received her B.A. (English and Art History), M.A. and Ph.D. (English)
from the University of Rochester. Her research and teaching interests
include Victorian literature and culture, Colonial and Postcolonial studies,
History of medicine, and Gender studies. She is currently working on a
book, "Foreign Bodies: Medicine, Gender and Colonialism in Nineteenth-Century
British Culture," which, through readings of Victorian travel narratives,
medical guides, and fiction, explores the relationship of medical discourse
to the expansion of empire and traces the rise of the female doctor in
relation to imperial progress. She is also researching a new project on
botanical gardens and conservatories as sites of exoticism, desire and
transgression in nineteenth-century fiction. Before joining the faculty
at Georgia Tech, she taught at James Madison University and the University
of Rochester. |
