Christie Debelius

Christie Debelius is a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Tech. She earned her Ph.D. in English from Indiana Unviersity Bloomington, where she also served as Managing Editor of Victorian Studies. Her research, focuses on British Romanticism, positioning women poets such as Felicia Hemans, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Mary Robinson, and Charlotte Smith as media theorists. She argues that these poets' works put forth complex theories of how gender shapes our interactions with media technologies. She has developed writing courses exploring a variety of topics, including multimodal poetry, Gothic fiction, feminist writing, reboot films and fan culture, and the relationship between horror and science fiction, all focused on using multimodal communication and analysis to increase her students' confidence as writers and thinkers. When she is not teaching, you can probably find Christie reading a horror novel or watching a Star Wars film with her cat, Sherlock.
