Karen Kilcup has broad research and teaching interests in 19th- and earlier 20th-century American literatures; her work has encompassed women and gender, romanticism and regionalism, poetry and poetics, humor, and American multicultural literatures (especially Native American). Her interests in contemporary American literary and cultural theory include ethnocriticism, feminism, and new historicism, as well as genre, reader response, and canon theory. Recipient of a US national Distinguished Teacher award (1987), Professor Kilcup has also been awarded the distinguished Dorothy M. Healy Visiting Professorship for the study of nineteenth-century American women writers (1996), an Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship for the study of American women's diaries (1997), and the Edna and Jordan Davidson Eminent Scholar Chair in the Humanities in Miami (2000).
