All About Me:

My name is Christina F. Kolias and I am a second-generation Greek-American scholar. I am a third-year English PhD student at Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California. I received my BA in English and MA in English, both from CSU Fullerton. I am currently working towards an Early Modern Studies Concentration, while having just earned a Women’s and Gender Studies Certificate and a Preparing Future Faculty Certificate in College Teaching from Claremont Graduate University.  My areas of focus are in Renaissance Literature and Drama c.1300-1800, and Women’s and Gender Studies. My specific research interests include psychoanalysis, feminist theory, critical race studies, and female chastity and sexuality. 

​

I have been a mentor for the IGNITE: Claremont Graduate University Student Mentorship program for two years now. I currently work as a Substitute Teacher for the Corona-Norco Unified School District. I was recently hired to work in The Graduate Embedded Tutor (G.E.T) program at Glendale Community College and I was recently appointed as the first-ever graduate student Social Media Liaison for the scholarly association, The Renaissance Conference of Southern California (RCSC).
