Dr. Margaretmary Daley serves as Professor of German and Comparative Literature in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Case Western Reserve University, where she has been a faculty member since 1994. She held leadership positions as chair of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures (2000-2002) and Director of Women’s and Gender Studies (2003-2007), demonstrating significant institutional engagement.
Her academic foundation includes:
- A.B. from Stanford University
- Ph.D. from Yale University
- Fellowship at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge
Dr. Daley's research centers on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German literature, with specialized expertise in women authors, poetry, and literary theory. Her scholarship critically examines gender dynamics in canonical works, recovery of marginalized female voices, and intersections of authorship with social history. Key contributions include foundational studies on letter-writing traditions among German women intellectuals and analyses of Goethe's engagement with female contemporaries.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a sustained focus on rectifying historical omissions in German literary studies. Her 2022 monograph Great Books by German Women and 2024 podcast on Goethe's relationship with women writers exemplify her mission to integrate female perspectives into mainstream literary history, while her 2023 article on systemic bias directly challenges traditional methodologies in eighteenth-century German scholarship.
Teaching excellence has been recognized through:
- Commendation from CWRU's University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education (UCITE)
- Commendation from Mortar Board honor society
As an active scholar-educator, Professor Daley continues to mentor students in German and Comparative Literature. Her current research trajectory, including the 2024 podcast and ongoing work on gendered leadership narratives, indicates a vibrant scholarly agenda without mention of specific grants or laboratory affiliations in available materials.
