Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Dr. Lenore Todd completed her BA at Amherst College, her MA at Universiteit Leiden, and her MLitt and Ph.D. at the University of St. Andrews. Her monograph, The Figure of the Other in 9/11 Literature: If You See Something, Say Something (Palgrave, 2017), goes beyond the false binary assumption that the racial tension in these books lies solely in the dynamic between “Americans” and “terrorists.” It also interrogates post-9/11 constructions of whiteness and the treatment of African-American characters.

Her current project investigates African- American and Caribbean women in Art History and Advertising.
