She holds a PhD in English Language and Literatures from the University of Virginia, an MA in Comparative Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a BA from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Her research explores how early modern printed texts rendered objects through language and graphic technologies, with connections to contemporary digital archives. She teaches courses on early modern literature, women's writing, and graphic novels, and directs the department's Honors Program.
Simon's publications consistently explore intersections of material textuality, gender studies, and digital approaches to early modern literature. Her work demonstrates strong engagement with historical reconstruction through contemporary scholarly methods.
