Torre Puckett is a Herbert Postdoctoral Fellow and teaching assistant professor in the Department of English at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Her work takes place at the intersections of disability studies and horror studies, usually of the Anglophone nineteenth century; her current project explores fin-de-siècle horror fiction alongside eugenic theory, exposing the indebtedness of both discourses to the excessive affective and narrative impulses with which our culture responds to disability. Her research appears in the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies. As a writing center practitioner, she is passionate about supporting accessibility-informed consultation and administrative practices. She has her PhD in English language and literature from the University of Michigan, where she was an instructor and an accessibility consultant at the Sweetland Center for Writing.
