Dr. Sullivan’s research investigates the intersections of religious discourse and queer subjectivity in Modern British literature. Her publications argue that religious discourse is a necessary component in the articulation of the Modernist queer subject. In articles on Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Townsend Warner, she tracks queer subjectivities that develop through disparate and conflicting narrative positionings: although clearly rejecting inherited religious practice and faith systems, these subjects nonetheless call on foundational Judeo-Christian narratives both in acts of self-representation and in their experiences of the sacred. The result is a previously unexplored theoretical vista in which the Judeo-Christian religion is a multi-layered and productive site, not simply an operation of disciplinary power.
