Bio
Dr. Peterson is a first-gen graduate of Boston University (CAS, English), originally from New York, and now a Bostonian.
Her writing/research interests and published work range in focus from Renaissance material, visual, and medical/scientific cultures, to reviews of Shakespeare theater productions, to detective fiction. She has taught in several English and writing programs, some in London, and held recent fellowships at Oxford and Cambridge universities.
When she’s not teaching WR 120, writing articles on what she finds in museums or libraries, or taking her dog for long walks, she likes to sink into a good country house mystery!
