Biography

Dr. A. R. Mashilker received her doctorate from the James Joyce Research Centre at University College Dublin, National University of Ireland. Dr Mashilker has spoken extensively on Joyce鈥檚 Ulysses at numerous conferences across Europe and North America over the past two decades鈥攂ut identifies just as much as a Wildean today. 

In her interdisciplinary research Dr. Mashilker considers intersections of indigenous and Judeo-Christian mythologies, grounding the critical task in archetypal and aesthetic theory, as well as theories of gender and identity. Her chapter, 鈥淩eclaiming the Fisherman: Soul Searching in Oscar Wilde鈥檚 Fairy Tales,鈥� is included in the monograph, Quintessential Wilde, edited by Annette Magid (2017). 

She has two book projects awaiting publication homes: Beyond Homer: Joyce鈥檚 Aesthetic and the Archetypal Feminine in Ulysses, and #motherfail, an unfiltered examination of academic motherhood. Dr Mashilker thoroughly enjoys teaching her classes at 91影视破解版: ENGL 222 鈥淪urvey of British Literature: 1798鈥攑resent,鈥� and ENGL 317 鈥淎dvanced Business Writing.鈥�
