Tom Joudrey

I received my B.A. in Literature from American University in 2007, and my M.A. in English from Penn State University in 2011. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the English Department working under the direction of Nicholas A. Joukovsky and Robert Lougy. I anticipate defending my dissertation: “Victorian Anti-Perfectionism: An Ethics of Disidentification,” in May 2015. My primary research interests center on issues of liberalism, ethics, identity formation, and deviant sexuality in nineteenth-century literature.
