Catherine Wiley serves as an Associate Professor - Instructional in the Department of English at Temple University's College of Liberal Arts, with additional affiliation in the Global Studies program. She teaches diverse courses including The Modern Novel, Introduction to English Studies, Women in Literature, and First-Year Writing.
Her research critically examines the intersection of aesthetics, sexuality, and identity formation in late-Victorian literature, particularly through essayists such as Walter Pater and Vernon Lee. This work bridges historical literary analysis with theoretical frameworks in gender studies and modernism, exploring how aesthetic theories evolved during the transition from Victorian to modernist periods.
Wiley's scholarly output, exemplified by her 2006 publication on Vernon Lee, consistently investigates the ethical dimensions of bodily experience in aesthetic theory, demonstrating interdisciplinary connections between literary studies, philosophy, and sexuality discourse within nineteenth-century intellectual history.
