Christine Grogan Alderman, PhD

Welcome to my Web site! Associate Professor of English at the University of Delaware, Dover, I’m the Faculty Coordinator of the Dover and Georgetown academic centers. I hold a PhD in English and a graduate certificate in Women’s Studies. Since 2005, I’ve taught courses in literature and writing. 
I have served as the President of the Katherine Anne Porter Society and Vice President of Membership and Finances of the Society for the Study of American Women Writers. 

My book on father-daughter incest and CPTSD in twentieth-century American literature was published with Fairleigh Dickinson University Press. I’ve published articles on works including Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, Azar Nafis’s Reading Lolita in Tehran, and Dorothy Allison’s Bastard Out of Carolina. My recent research explores African women writers.  

Please read this site to learn more about my teaching experience, research interests, and service to the profession, university, college, department, and community.
