Katy Chiles teaches and writes about early American literature and culture, African-American and Native American literature, and critical race theory. Her current research focuses on how late eighteenth-century beliefs about the mutability of the racialized body structures the way that early American literary texts characterize racial difference. Her essay on Samson Occom and Phillis Wheatley is forthcoming in PMLA. Her work has also appeared in or is forthcoming in American Literature and Nineteenth-Century Theatre and Film.
