Carla Mulford

Carla J. Mulford is Professor of English and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Dr. Mulford's areas of specialization include early modern through the eighteenth-century British and American literature; African American literature and language; Native American studies; book history and textual studies; and critical race studies.

Research and teaching areas cross several fields: early modern studies; early American (including African American and Native) studies; and contemporary Native studies. Across my career, I have published eleven books and well over sixty articles and chapters in books on a variety of subjects. I'm very grateful to have been named the 2018 Honored Scholar in Early American Literature by the MLA Forum in American Literature to 1800. My scholarship and my teaching enhance each other, as evidenced by my having been honored with two teaching awards, the Malvin and Lea P. Bank Outstanding Teaching Award, 2016, and the College of Liberal Arts Teaching Award, 2005.
