Faculty Profile
Dr. Carol Bender
Departments: English
Dr. Carol Bender, professor of English, has had a special interest in African-American literature since her guest professorship at Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the faculty she worked with had tremendous expertise in the subject. Much of her professional writing and scholarship focuses on black women writers such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Gloria Naylor.
Her other interest, women’s literature, stems from her curiosity in women’s studies, a program she and a colleague started at Alma in 1992.
