Madelyn Detloff is Professor of Global and Intercultural Studies and Professor of English at Miami University, Ohio, US, which takes its name from the Myaamia people, on whose traditional homelands the university is situated. Detloff studies and teaches how social descriptors such as race, age, gender, sexuality, nationality, and (dis)ability are formed and deformed by systems of power that categorize some groups of people as worthy of resources needed to live and flourish, while categorizing other groups as threats to the well-being of the privileged, purportedly “normal” community, nation, race, or gender. Detloff focuses mostly on intersectional feminist, queer, and crip theories as some (but not all) of the tools necessary to undo the logic of these systems of power in the name of bringing about a more just and accountable world. Detloff’s publications include The Persistence of Modernism: Loss and Mourning in the Twentieth Century (Cambridge University Press, 2009) and The Value of Virginia Woolf (Cambridge University Press, 2016). She is co-editor with Brenda Helt of Queer Bloomsbury (Edinburgh University Press, 2016), and editor of the Norton Critical Edition of Orlando. Her articles are published in venues such as Hypatia, Modernism/modernity, Journal of Lesbian Studies, and Women’s Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal.
