Conny Cassity

Conny Cassity is a PhD candidate in English. Her dissertation, “Living Intertextually: British Women’s Writing and Community Building,” interweaves feminist theory, intertextual studies, and digital humanities to argue that eighteenth- and nineteenth-century women writers theorized and formed collectives indirectly through quotations, archetypes of authorial personas, and biographical collections. She has been published in Eighteenth-Century Fiction and English Language Notes, and her research has been featured on the “CU at the Libraries” podcast and the Keats-Shelley Association of America’s website as part of the “Toward an Anti-Racist, ‘Undisciplined' Romanticism” series. She has received a Graduate Teaching Excellence Award, has served as a Lead Graduate Instructor, and was a Digital Pedagogy Grant recipient in the Division of Continuing Education. Conny has taught courses in the Department of English and in Continuing Education on women’s writing, British literature, and composition. She received her BA from Chapman University and her MA from CU Boulder.
