Sarah Harsh, Ph.D.

Welcome to my website! I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Writing Program at Emory University. I teach composition, rhetoric, and literature classes that build knowledge, celebrate diversity, and inspire critical thinking. Focusing on the intersections of Irish, Southern, and Caribbean women’s writing, my research investigates how literature remembers what history forgets. My dissertation, Domestic Disturbances: Home and History in Transatlantic Women’s Writing, locates settler colonial complicity with the walls of the family home.

I have worked at Emory’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library where I curated the exhibition “The Dream Machine: The Beat Generation & the Counterculture, 1940-1975.” In my free time, I enjoy tending my vegetable garden and hiking with my rescue puppy.

You can find me on Twitter or at Emory English.
