Horan’s research draws on primary source materials such as diaries, letters, manuscripts and oral histories to reveal the networks of influence among writers, intellectuals, educators across national and other borders in the Americas. Her books, articles and numerous reviews span the fields of translation, archives and print history, critical theory and religious studies. Her most recent volume, Esta America Nuestra, La Correspondencia de Gabriela Mistral y Victoria Ocampo 1926-1957 (Buenos Aires: Editorial El Cuenco de Plata, 2007) is a collection of letters co-edited with Ocampo scholar Doris Meyer. Horan is currently working on two books: a critical biography of Chilean poet-diplomat Gabriela Mistral, the first in Spanish or English to be based wholly on primary sources, and a study of autobiographical prose by US-based Latino and Latina writers. At Arizona State, Elizabeth Horan teaches survey classes on Literature of the Americas, sophomore introductory World Literature and advanced undergraduate and graduate seminars in Cultural and Critical Theory. An affiliate faculty in the Women and Gender Studies Program, she served as English Department Chair in 2002-2004, preceded by terms as Associate Chair and as Director of Comparative Literature. |
