Abokhair, Amanda
2nd Year
I am a Dual Masters Student at New York University and Long Island University, earning a MA in English Literature and MS in Library and Information Science. My focus is on 19th Century Gothic and Romantic Literature, specifically Mary Shelley's life and writings. I also look at transcript and facsimile as I seek to discover what an accurate facsimile looks like and how it operates as its own object.

Katherine (Kate) received her BA from Belhaven University, studying at Oxford University in the UK for a semester before graduation. Her reading interests are classics, historical fiction, and all genres of poetry. Her undergraduate research focused on the women and material culture, specifically related to Jane Austen’s novels. Recently, her research interests have expanded to include psychological spatial practice within literature, especially early feminist works. For fun Kate enjoys playing her cello, gardening, walking in the park, keeping up with her bookstagram, and reading a good book with a cup of strong black coffee. Kate is also a freelance writer and blogger.
