About
Sara Crosby is an associate professor of English at The Ohio State University at Marion. Her research focuses on early- and antebellum-American crime writing and print culture, as well as the interplay between modern popular culture and the environment, particularly in relation to the deteriorating wetlands of South Louisiana, her birthplace. She teaches courses on these subjects and was recognized as Ohio State University Marion’s teacher of the year in 2016. Crosby is a former NEH fellow and has published extensively, including articles and books on topics such as ecohorror, female poisoners in Jacksonian America, and women in medicine in nineteenth-century American literature. Her recent work investigates how the representation of South Louisiana as a place of ecohorror has contributed to regional neglect and environmental erosion.
