Dorothea Trotter
Dorothea Trotter is an Instructor in the English Department, where she teaches College Writing and intro to literature courses.
She earned her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the Freie Universität Berlin. She also holds an MA in Comparative Literature from Florida Atlantic University and a BA in Literature (German, British, Russian) from New College of Florida. She was raised tri-culturally and bilingually in South Florida, which led to an early interest in multicultural and postcolonial literature. Her dissertation examined the use of intermedial television references in contemporary German and British transnational literature.
Dr. Trotter is also a Research Associate for the College of Arts and Letters. She has published on fairy tales, economic justice, migration, and identity. Current projects continue to deal with identity and intermediality in migration narratives and contemporary literature, and her next book-length project involves a comprehensive analysis of the representation of facial differences in literature, television, and film.
