Work in Progress
Theresa A. Kulbaga is currently completing a book manuscript, Trans/National Subjects: Gender, Genre, and Geopolitics in Contemporary American Autobiography. This book examines how ethnic and immigrant women autobiographers use genre as a rhetorical strategy in order to make arguments about national and transnational identity, citizenship, and political rights. Dr. Kulbaga is also completing an article, with Wendy S. Hesford, on representations of human rights violations in autobiographies by forensic anthropologists.
