My dissertation, Subversive Sensations: Reconsidering the Sensory in New Woman Literature, explores how sensory studies can help inform our readings of authors who seek to destabilize traditional social categorizations and create space for forms of identity that prioritize in-betweenness, hybridity, and inclusivity.	cache/8s45q814p9w.txt	txt/8s45q814p9w.txt
