Princeton literature Ph.D. and humanist program developer Mollie Copley Eisenberg, photographed in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, by Clay Williams

I’m Mollie. I’m a scholar, writer, & public humanities practitioner.

I have a Ph.D. in literature from Princeton, a background in book publishing, and the conviction that the university is a public good and should function like one.

My work—both scholarly and practical—focuses on connections between the academic humanities and the world beyond the campus gate.

On this site, you can read about my scholarship and teaching. You can also read about the work I do developing innovative programming to meet the needs of humanist scholars, departments, and institutions as they confront the challenges of the contemporary moment.
