Cassandra B. Lerer is a Lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on 20th-century British literature, modernism/late modernism, speculative fiction (SFF), cultural studies, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. She examines the interplay between literary forms and fantastical cultural imaginaries, with a particular interest in politically charged reinterpretations of myth and magic.
Education: B.A., University of the Philippines Diliman (2014); M.A., King’s College London (2017).
Her courses explore intersections between art and occultism, such as ENGL 10415: The Arts of Enchantment: Occultism and Modern Culture, which analyzes how occult traditions influence modern art and critical thought. She emphasizes marginalized writers who blend formal innovation with fantastical themes, including Sylvia Townsend Warner, Angela Carter, and Robert Aickman.
