Catherine E Corder is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of History & Geography at The University of Texas at Arlington. She has been actively teaching a wide range of undergraduate courses in English, History, and Disability Studies for over a decade.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of literary studies and cultural history, with a focus on disability studies, book history, print culture, and graphic narratives. She explores how early printed texts and modern multimodal forms represent identity, embodiment, and cognition.

She has consistently offered courses under both English and Disability Studies programs, indicating strong cross-departmental engagement.
