معرفی
Julie Enszer is an Instructional Assistant Professor of Gender Studies at the University of Mississippi. She holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Maryland-College Park (2013). Her work focuses on feminist print cultures, lesbian history, and queer literary analysis, with a particular emphasis on archival recovery and transnational feminist publishing networks. She has published extensively on topics including Adrienne Rich's legacy, lesbian-feminist presses, and the intersections of gender, sexuality, and literary form.
Enszer's research explores how marginalized voices are documented and transmitted through print media, with notable projects on Sinister Wisdom, Night Heron Press, and Conditions Magazine. Her writing bridges literary criticism with activist praxis, examining how feminist and queer communities create cultural memory through publishing. Recent work investigates the political potential of lesbian separatism and the evolving legacies of second-wave feminist archives.
Her publications span academic essays, poetry collections, and edited volumes, including contributions to Feminist Bookstore News and chapters in Cultures of Feminisms. While focused on historical analysis, her scholarship engages contemporary debates about LGBTQ+ representation, spatial politics, and the preservation of queer cultural heritage. Enszer teaches courses that integrate archival research with critical feminist theory, emphasizing the materiality of texts as sites of resistance.
