Overview

Jenessa Kenway is a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow in the Writing and Communication Program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Kenway received her Ph.D. from the Literature program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2023. Her work focuses on embodied pedagogy, visual language, and aesthetics of embodiment in women’s writing with an emphasis on the Modernist period. Kenway’s recent article, “To ‘write as a woman who has forgotten that she is a woman’: Virginia Woolf’s Embodied Feminine Aesthetics in A Room of One’s Own,” published in Feminist Modernist Studies (2024), examines embodied aesthetics as a means of nonconscious gender expression. Her portfolio includes over a decade of articles reviewing art exhibitions.
