SMHC-Dr -Emily-Dalton

Dr Emily Dalton

Lecturer, National University of Singapore College

Emily Dalton received her PhD in Comparative Literature from Princeton University, specialising in medieval English, French, and Welsh literature. She is currently on the faculty of NUS College, where she teaches a course on Death, Memorial, and Mourning, which examines how we make sense of mortality and loss through works of art and literature that evoke the fluid nature of memory, non-linear patterns of grief, and the limits of representation in works of elegy and memorial. Prior to joining NUS College, she was at Yale-NUS, where she taught courses on the medieval European orientation toward death and dying, including the social and cultural impacts of the fourteenth-century outbreaks of the Black Death.
