Biography

Dr. Emily O’Brock completed her PhD in French with distinction at New York University in 2022 and she is currently a de Vries Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at ÃÛÌÒapp.

Her research examines the literary, cultural, and historical significance of bees in medieval France through the lens of critical animal studies, posthumanism, and ecocriticism in order to demonstrate the unique and exemplary position of bees in the medieval natural hierarchy.

Her book project is titled 'If Small Things Can Be Compared to Great': the Symbolic Ecology of the Honeybee in Medieval France. Her work has been funded by a Chateaubriand and a George Lurcy Fellowship and she was a Lilly Graduate Fellow in the humanities from 2016-2019.
