Jennifer Wilson serves as Professor in the Department of English at Appalachian State University, where she has taught since 2000. Her course load includes ENG 5865 (Eighteenth-Century British Studies), ENG 3710 (Studies in Women and Literature), and ENG 2010 (British Literature to 1789), reflecting her expertise in British literary traditions from the eighteenth century to contemporary works.
Her academic credentials feature a Ph.D. and M.A. in English from the University of Georgia alongside a Bachelor of Music from DePauw University:
- Ph.D., English, University of Georgia
- M.A., English, University of Georgia

Wilson's research explores how reading practices reshape cognitive habits and self-perception through interdisciplinary lenses connecting literature and psychology. She specializes in embodied cognition, narrative adaptation, and the psychological dimensions of literary reception across historical periods. Her work examines texts ranging from Laurence Sterne's 18th-century fiction to modern film adaptations of Robinson Crusoe, with particular attention to women writers and the evolution of the novel form.
Analysis of her 2015-2021 publications reveals consistent application of cognitive frameworks to diverse literary subjects, bridging Enlightenment-era psychology with contemporary media studies. Her scholarship demonstrates how narratives from Boswell's hypochondriacal writings to Charlotte Brontë's Villette illuminate enduring connections between textual engagement and mental processes.
