Tiffany Cruz
Tiffany Cruz is a Ph.D. student in the English Department at Northeastern University, specializing in people of color in nineteenth-century British literature. Passionate about amplifying the voices of those from the past and bringing them to life in the present, she also explores contemporary texts that adapt classic works, examining the enduring interest in historical novels and the significance of centering people of color within these narratives. Her research focuses on the constructions of genre and how they shape both classical and modern texts, particularly in relation to race, while exploring how literature reflects and influences societal values and identities. She is also a research assistant on the Nineteenth Century for Northeastern’s Mapping Black London.
