Corey Risinger is a Ph.D. candidate in New York University’s Department of English.

Her research crosses geographies (real and imagined), centuries (18th to 20th), and fields (life writing, archival science, and feminist theory).

In her dissertation, Archival Living: Recording Self and Sensation in the Long-Nineteenth Century, she illuminates fictional and historical women’s early, curatorial labors. Her chapters feature de facto archivists like Victorian maidservant Hannah Cullwick, philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft, and sentimental heroine Pamela Andrews.
