Elizabeth Freeman (professor)
Elizabeth Freeman was an English professor at the University of California, Davis, and before that Sarah Lawrence College. Freeman specialized in American literature and gender/sexuality/queer studies.[1] She also served as Associate Dean of the Faculty for Humanities, Arts, and Cultural Studies at University of California, Davis.[2]
Freeman researched subjects within Queer studies, which she personally believed was defined by sex while accepting a broad definition for the term - including those who had a different approach.[3] She edited a book on Queer Kinship: Race, Sex, Belonging, Form with Tyler Bradway.[4] Her article “Sacra/Mentality in Djuna Barnes’s Nightwood” received the 2014 Norman Foerster Prize for the best essay published in American Literature.[5]
Freeman passed away in June, 2024.[6]
