Professor Sarah Churchwell holds the Chair in Public Understanding of the Humanities at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. Her research focuses on American literature, culture, and history from the late 19th century to the present, with particular emphasis on F. Scott Fitzgerald, the interwar period, and cultural memory. She examines American myths, icons, and discourses through methodologies including biographical criticism and reception history. Her work bridges academia and public discourse, appearing in outlets like the New York Review of Books, Atlantic, and Guardian.
Research interests include the Great Gatsby and its receptions, histories of American fascism, and the rhetoric of phrases like 'American Dream.' She has authored monographs such as Behold, America (2018) and The Wrath to Come (2022). Current projects explore implicit historical archives and Hemingway's celebrity persona. Supervised PhD topics include Fitzgerald's cinematic legacy and 1921 archival studies.
Churchwell's media commentary addresses contemporary political issues through historical lenses. She emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, connecting literature, film, and public engagement to critique cultural amnesia and ideological distortions.
