Niles Tomlinson received his PhD from George Washington University with a focus on the intersection between 19th-C American literature and animal theory/natural history. Niles is fascinated with the human/animal border and has related scholarly interests in posthumanism, carnvivalesque satire (satyr), and contemporary American science fiction/horror film. His two most recent conference papers explore, respectively, human/panther crossing in Charles Brockden Brown’s 1799 novel Edgar Huntly and trans-species resistance to race fixing in Jordan Peele's 2017 film Get Out.
