Susan S. Williams studies American literature and visual culture, focusing on how 19th- and 20th-century writers and public figures were represented through images, portraiture, and adaptation. Her work often examines authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott, and Edgar Allan Poe alongside historical figures like Elizabeth Keckley and Andrew Jackson, exploring themes of visual representation, gender, and cultural memory. This research would suit students interested in the intersection of literary studies, visual art, and American cultural history.
Publication output has been modest and irregular over the last decade, with one to two papers most years and occasional gaps (e.g., 2022 and 2024), averaging under one publication per year in the last five years.
