About Dr. Mintler

Dr. Catherine Mintler (PH.D. in English and Women’s and Gender Studies from the University of Illinois, Chicago) recently served as the Interim Director of the Expository Writing Program at the University of Oklahoma from 2017-2019.

Since 2008, Dr. Mintler has taught writing seminars in for the Expository Writing Program: Fashion & Identity, What Is Work?, American Gangster: From Jay Gatsby to Jay-Z, Seeing Is Believing, Citizens!, and Doppelgängers & Doubles. She is developing new writing courses: Wolves of Wall Street (Spring 2020) and Peripatetic Worlds: Pilgrimage to Psychogeography (Fall 2020). Dr. Mintler co-teaches writing instruction for OU’s Warrior Scholar Project  and serves on the Pat Tillman Scholarship Committee.

Dr. Mintler works on literary modernism, and her scholarship explores connections between sartorial culture and formal innovation in the modernist novel, and the effects of this coalescence in representing modern identity. She has published  on Hemingway and the female writer in the KSU Press series, Teaching Hemingway and Gender (2016), and on Fitzgerald and dandyism in the F. Scott Fitzgerald Review. Dr. Mintler is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship, an Annette Kolodny Award, and a Smith Reynolds Founders Fellowship from the Ernest Hemingway Foundation and Society. She is currently at work on a book about Hemingway as a post-war flâneur figure.
