Carol Siegel

I teach a fairly large range of classes from a gender studies perspective, including Victorian, 20th Century, and Asian-American literatures and Film Studies. I concentrated on women writers as an undergraduate (at San Francisco State University, BA 1979), wrote my M.A. thesis on Iris Murdoch’s philosophical writings and fiction (SFSU 1980), and focused my Ph.D. dissertation on the relation between the work of D. H. Lawrence and traditions in women’s literature (U.C. Berkeley 1987). I was hired as part of a team to create a Women’s Studies program at Loyola New Orleans in 1987 and came to Washington State University as one of two professors hired to create a Humanities program at the Vancouver branch campus in 1990. I have been working with graduate students at the main campus in Pullman ever since.
