Susan Solomon

Susan Solomon serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Literary Arts and Studies at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where she teaches interdisciplinary courses spanning literature, architecture, visual art, and music.

Her educational credentials include:

• BA from the University of Connecticut
• MA from Brown University
• MA from the University of Connecticut
• PhD from Brown University

Dr. Solomon's research investigates formal and conceptual intersections across literary, spatial, and visual arts, with specialization in modernist literature (particularly James Joyce's Ulysses and Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse), gender studies through Claire Goll's work, and contemporary art analysis of Doug Aitken. Her scholarship emphasizes cross-disciplinary dialogue between textual and spatial practices, revealing how architectural and musical structures inform literary modernism.

Her publications from 2014-2022 demonstrate consistent engagement with European modernity, alterity, and postsecular thought. The trajectory moves from historical archival editing (WWI documents) to theoretical translations of German modernity and Flaubert studies, reflecting evolving methodological sophistication while maintaining core interdisciplinary focus. Recurring themes include spatial narratives, cultural translation, and the interplay between textual and visual representation in modernist contexts.
