Cindy Weinstein

I am a professor of American literature and my primary area of expertise is in the nineteenth century. I have written three monographs in the field and edited four volumes. In addition, I teach courses in women’s fiction, African-American literature, Herman Melville, and Edgar Allan Poe. I have served in several administrative positions during my academic career. These have included Executive Officer of the Humanities, Vice Provost, and Chief Diversity Officer.

Most recently, I have written Finding the Right Words with Dr. Bruce Miller, which will be published by the Johns Hopkins University Press in 2021. This book aims for a general audience and tells the story of my father's early onset Alzheimer's using the perspectives of a daughter, English professor, and neurologist. It is an homage to my father, to the literature I love, and to the possibilities of interdisciplinary thinking.
