Rachel Warburton's areas of teaching and research interest include 16th and 17th century English literature and culture, histories of sexuality, and feminist and gender theories. Secondary interests include women's writing, utopian literature and theory, literature of first contact, travel writing, early theories of nationhood, medieval literature and culture, and modernist women writers.
Dr. Warburton has published articles on Chaucer's Legend of Good Women and medieval law, 17th century Puritan women writers, Quaker women's friendships, early modern semiotics/cross-dressing/translation, and the gendered semiotics of dress in Orlando and Nightwood. With Dr. Susanne Luhmann (Alberta), she also guest edited a special issue of Atlantis devoted to the intersections of queer and feminist theories, Sexy Feminisms (2007). More recently, Dr. Warburton has been writing about queer parenthood, queer pedagogy, and the intersections of race and sexuality in both 17th and 20th/21st century culture.
