Tina Lupton is the Eugene P and Helen Conley Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame, based in Decio Faculty Hall. Her research bridges material book studies, literary history, and socio-political analysis of reading practices. She holds a Ph.D. from Rutgers University, an M.A. from the University of Sussex, and a B.A. from Flinders University.
Her work examines how reading intersects with time, labor, and cultural production, with a focus on 18th-century literature and modern novels. Key projects include Reading and the Making of Time (2018), which explores early modern readers' temporal negotiations, and a co-authored pandemic-era study Reading Novels During the Covid-19 Pandemic (2022), recognized with the 2023 BACLL Prize.
Current projects include Literature and the Working Day (tracking novelistic reflections on labor from 1700s onward) and Paid Leaves: Writing a Life Around 1968 (state-sponsored life writing in Cold War contexts). She engages with thinkers like Michel Serres, Jacques Rancière, and Hannah Arendt.
Her publications synthesize interdisciplinary approaches, blending textual analysis with historical materialism. Recent scholarship interrogates intersections between literary form and socio-economic structures across centuries.
