Marie Ostby serves as Associate Professor of English at Connecticut College, where she has taught since 2015 while maintaining active affiliation with the Global Islamic Studies program. Her scholarly work bridges literary analysis with contemporary global issues through interdisciplinary frameworks. Her academic credentials include a B.A. from Yale University and M.A./Ph.D. degrees from the University of Virginia, establishing foundational expertise in literary theory and cultural studies. Ostby's research specializes in the global circulation of modern Middle Eastern literatures, particularly focusing on Iran and its diaspora. She examines intersections of postcolonial theory, gender studies, and genre innovation across mediums from travelogues to social media, with significant attention to women writers, graphic narratives, and transnational literary exchange under political constraints. Her methodology consistently integrates close textual analysis with broader cultural critique. Recent publications reveal an evolving trajectory from traditional literary scholarship toward contemporary digital forms, with increasing emphasis on social media's role in literary activism and diaspora expression. Key thematic threads include the adaptation of Persian literary traditions in global contexts, feminist interventions in cross-cultural discourse, and the political dimensions of genre hybridity in politically fraught environments. Professor Ostby teaches diverse courses spanning empire studies (ENG 137), migration narratives (ENG 241), and digital activism (ENG 181), alongside cross-listed offerings in Global Islamic Studies. She is currently on sabbatical for the 2025-2026 academic year to complete her book manuscript The Global Genres of Modern Iran: Flexible Forms and Cross-Cultural Exchange from Travelogues to Twitter , which analyzes how transnational literary exchange manifests through genre boundary-crossing.
