Erin Elizabeth Greer is an Assistant Professor of Literature at the University of Texas at Dallas.

Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Contemporary Literature, JML, Camera Obscura, Salmagundi, and Stanley Cavell and Aesthetic Experience.
Erin Greer makes a powerful case for conversation as a practice, as a way of relating to others existentially and politically, and as a mode of reading which brings literature and philosophy together in non-reductive ways. Shifting the ground of the debate, Greer's sharp and subtle intervention shows us how to get past entrenched positions in the so-called ""method wars"" in literary studies. --Toril Moi, Duke University
