Conner Moore

Conner Moore is a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology, having earned his Ph.D. in English literature from Miami University in 2026. His research in nineteenth-century British literature denaturalizes and critiques structures of oppression along the axes of class, gender, race, colonialism, and human-animal relations. His current book project argues that representations of literary animals in late-nineteenth-century British and French decadent literature radically destabilizes the binaries of nature/artifice and human/animal in ways that are generative for critiquing animal oppression and exploitation, as well as imagining alternatives to these practices. His work has been published in Victorian Popular Fictions and Volupté: Interdisciplinary Journal of Decadence Studies.
