Riley McGuire is an Assistant Professor of English at Worcester State University where he specializes in nineteenth-century British literature, queer theory, and disability studies. Prior to joining the faculty at WSU, he completed his Ph.D. in English at the University of Pennsylvania. He is currently working on a book-length project exploring how vocal disability influenced nineteenth-century Anglophone culture.
