Amy T. Hamilton joined the English Department at Northern Michigan University in 2008 after earning her Ph.D. from the University of Arizona.  Her scholarly work includes essays on American Indian women writers, Anglo-American captivity narratives, and U.S.  Southwest border literatures.  She is currently working on two book projects: a monograph that examines the pervasive trope of walking in American Literature from a cross-cultural perspective and an edited collection of critical essays on pre-1800 Western American literature.
