Dr. Robin Truth Goodman is a Professor of Literature at Florida State University.[1] Trained as a comparatist and as a scholar in postcolonial studies, Goodman specializes in the issues of critical pedagogy, feminism, and postcolonial theory. One of her books, World, Class, Women (Routledge, 2003) was considered a "pathbreaking book" that "examines how theory and literature can be used to reclaim feminism, schooling, and economic justice as part of a broader effort in imagining a global democratic public sphere" by Henry A. Giroux, a leading scholar of education.[2] Her recent work also includes a book on Post-September 11 US policies[3] and another acclaimed book[4] on the need for feminist theory to reclaim the public sphere.[5]
Author of five books,[6] Goodman has also published extensively in academic journals[7][8]and anthologies[9] and also frequently shares her expertise through presentations at academic conferences and through public talks.[10] Goodman is a member of the MLA Radical Caucus and is also on the editorial board of Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies.[11]
