Anne Jamison serves as Professor of English within the College of Humanities at the University of Utah, holding this rank continuously since July 2019 after progressive appointments as Associate Professor (2012-2019), Assistant Professor (2007-2012), and Visiting Assistant Professor (2004-2007). Her institutional commitment spans two decades with uninterrupted service to the university.
Her research interrogates the intersections of fanfiction, gender theory, and transnational literary traditions, particularly through Victorian/modernist frameworks and Central European contexts. She pioneers scholarly discourse on digital fandom’s cultural impact while maintaining deep expertise in Kafka, Baudelaire, Rossetti, and Brontë studies. Her methodology consistently bridges historical literary analysis with contemporary digital culture phenomena.
Publication trends from 2009-2022 reveal three dominant trajectories: fanfiction’s evolution from niche subculture to global literary force, Czech/European modernism’s transnational reception, and gendered reinterpretations of canonical texts. These strands coalesce in her examination of how marginalized communities reclaim literary heritage through adaptation and digital archiving.
Her scientific recognition includes:
- Distinguished Scholar Award (College of Humanities, 2020)
- Faculty Research Award (University of Utah, 2014)
- Faculty Fellowship (University of Utah, 2011)
Professor Jamison actively mentors graduate researchers, evidenced by recurring instruction in PhD and Masters thesis seminars across literary theory, gender studies, and transnational literature. Her funded research includes the Graham Foundation grant (2012) and Faculty Research Award for Kafka’s Other Prague (2014), supporting archival work on Czechoslovak literary history. Community engagement extends through YA Boot Camp workshops with The King’s English and advocacy for at-risk LGBT youth via the Husbands UniTy Event.
