| Bio |
Caroline Wilkinson holds a Ph.D. in English with Creative-Writing Dissertation from University of Tennessee, Knoxville and an MFA in Fiction from Washington University in Saint Louis. For over ten years, she has taught college-level English, including courses in composition, creative writing, professional writing, and literature. At UMA, she teaches composition online with an emphasis on constructing powerful arguments for both academic and public audiences. Her interest in reaching literary, popular, and academic audiences shapes her multi-genre writing. Her fiction explores estates and mansions along the Hudson River, including one fictional home that appears in Henry James’s The Portrait of the Lady. In an article forthcoming in Novel: A Forum on Fiction, Dr. Wilkinson examines the symbolic function of this home in James’s novel in relation to the house’s historical connection to the Underground Railroad. In all her courses, Dr. Wilkinson enjoys working one-on-one with students throughout the writing process. From brainstorming to revising, she helps students develop their ideas and clarify their writing through virtual meetings and personalized feedback.
