Biography
Ingrid is currently a postdoctoral Social Sciences Teaching Fellow at the University of Chicago. She completed her PhD in the English Department in September 2019 and holds previous degrees from Boston University (BA) and the University of Oxford (MSt). Her dissertation presents a new cultural history of the intimate relationship between literature and sociology since the early twentieth century. Assembling an original archive of works characterized by what she calls "sociopoetics"--a self-conscious recombination of literary and sociological methods and forms--the project animates encounters between frameworks for understanding human beings and their actions both empirically and imaginatively, as a matter of collective fact and individual feeling.
In her spare time, Ingrid is an amateur student and performer of classical modern dance.
