Clare Mullaney’s research and teaching work at the intersection between nineteenth- and early twentieth-century U.S. literature, disability studies, and material text studies. Her book project, American Imprints: Disability and the Material Text, argues that acknowledging texts as made objects brings into focus how turn-of-the-century authors grapple with physical and mental impairments at the level of textual form. Her work has received awards from the American Antiquarian Society, the Emily Dickinson International Society, the Library Company of Philadelphia, the New York Public Library, and the Society for Disability Studies. Currently, she is a junior member of the Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography, and she has previously taught at Bryn Mawr and Hamilton Colleges.
