Dr. Brydie Kosmina is an expert in feminist literary studies, history, philosophy, and activism, popular culture studies, and has extensive experience teaching across a wide range of literary and cultural studies courses. Her first scholarly monograph, Feminist Afterlives of the Witch: Popular Culture, Memory, Activism was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2023. This monograph expands current discussions of the intersections of feminist activism, popular culture, and memory cultures, exploring these ideas through the figure of the witch and her status as a central commanding figure of feminist action. Brydie has a strong and diverse teaching record, teaching at multiple universities in Australia, across both literary and cultural studies departments, and across a very broad range of course subjects and levels.
