About Dr. Mintler

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

Since 2008, Dr. Mintler has taught the following writing seminars for OU’s Expository Writing Program: Fashion & Identity, What Is Work?, American Gangster: From Jay Gatsby to Jay-Z, Seeing Is Believing, Citizens!, Doppelgängers & Doubles, and Wolves of Wall Street. She is teaching a new Expo course this semester called Myth of the American Dream and developing new courses about The Great Gatsby in the 21st Century, Decarceration & Prison Abolition, and one focused on walking called Peripatetic Worlds: Pilgrimage to Psychogeography.

Dr. Mintler mentors The Writers Guild, a group of incarcerated writers at Joseph Harp Correctional Center in Lexington, and co-facilitates a writing course at the F. Dewayne Beggs Cleveland County Detention Center in Norman.

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. She 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 the post-war flâneur figure in the live and work of Ernest Hemingway.
