Brooke Clark is a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at Rice University, where she received her Ph.D. in English in 2023. Her research examines twentieth-century literary treatments of sex, gender, and sexuality at the intersections of narrative theory, psychoanalysis, and sound studies. Also, working in the field of medical humanities, she studies the medicalization of sexuality and early clinical photography. Her interdisciplinary scholarly interests shape her first-year writing course topics, which include twentieth-century and contemporary LGBTQ+ fiction as well as photographic and cinematic representations of medicine. She is an Editorial Assistant at SEL Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 and recently served as a Schull Summer Fellow, where she began an ongoing research project studying the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission Collection’s photographs of survivors held at the McGovern Historical Center in Houston. She is currently writing projects that interrogate and listen to the ways modernist fiction and psychoanalysis render sexuality through aurality.
