Tamara Taylor

Tamara Taylor is a Lecturer in the College Writing Program at Washington University in St. Louis. Her teaching and research span Romanticism, Modernism, Gender Studies, Science, Philosophy, and Religious Studies. She specializes in exploring how transitory visual phenomena—particularly light and color—shape subjectivity, as evidenced by her dissertation Species of the Sun's Making: Reading Light, Proust to Merrill. She teaches courses like College Writing: Writing Identity, which examines how social forces such as class, gender, race, and sexuality construct identity through literature and critical theory.
