Lauren Cullen is a Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of English Language and Literatures at the University of British Columbia. Her research bridges nineteenth-century literature, animal studies, and environmental humanities, with additional interests in settler colonialism, food studies, and sustainability. She holds a DPhil from the University of Oxford and degrees from Queen’s University, Canada.
Her monograph, Rethinking Character: Animals in Nineteenth-Century Fiction, examines animal roles in genres like sensation fiction and detective stories. A second project explores how environmental degradation influenced Canadian cultural forms from Margaret Marshall Saunders’ Beautiful Joe to Emily Carr’s artwork.
Dr. Cullen’s publications include articles on animal-human entanglements in literature and reviews of works by Sigrid Núñez and Christie Harner. She has received SSHRC postdoctoral and doctoral fellowships, reflecting her contributions to interdisciplinary humanities research.
