Sarah Ruffing Robbins is Lorraine Sherley Professor in TCU’s English Department, where she teaches courses on 19th- and 20th-century American studies, gender studies, transatlanticism, popular culture, writing and authorship. A faculty affiliate in both Women and Gender Studies and Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies, she has published nine academic books. The most recent of these is Learning Legacies: Archive to Action through Women’s Cross-cultural Teaching. She is also author of The Cambridge Introduction to Harriet Beecher Stowe and of Managing Literacy, Mothering America, winner of a Choice Book Award from the American Library Association. With historian Ann Pullen, she published the award-winning critical edition of Nellie Arnott’s Writings on Angola, 1905-1913: Missionary Narratives Linking Africa and America. Other books are connected to her leadership of NEH-funded public humanities initiatives, such as the Making American Literatures and the Keeping and Creating American Communities programs, both of which involved sustained collaboration with K-12 educators. Sarah’s professional website (sarahruffingrobbins.com) includes regular blog postings where she links her academic study of American culture with questions about current social justice issues.
