Emma Charlotte Eisenberg became a lecturer in the English department after completing her PhD at Berkeley in May 2022. Her current book project, Group Think, examines how Victorian literature theorizes the group as a middle scale producing new modes of distributed agency, identity, and intention. She has taught courses on nineteenth century literature, sociology and the novel, gender and sexuality, and composition.
