Molly Abel Travis is an associate professor of English.  She is also a participating faculty member in the Women’s Studies program, the interdepartmental Literature program, and the program in Digital Media Production.  She has published essays on narrative theory, media theory, and gender and race in 19th- and 20th-century American and British literature and culture.  Her first book was Reading Cultures: The Construction of Readers in the Twentieth Century (1998).  Professor Travis’s current projects include a book manuscript,  “Narrative and Nation Building in the ‘New’ South Africa” as well as two articles, “Displacement and Land Redistribution in Post-apartheid Cape Town and Post-Katrina New Orleans” and “Morrison’s Beloved and Coetzee’s Disgrace: Race, Trauma, and Literary Prizes.”  Professor Travis has been involved in numerous institutional efforts at Tulane to reform the undergraduate curriculum: she chaired the President’s Task Force on Teaching (1996-97) and the President’s strategic planning committee on the undergraduate experience (1998-99).  In addition, she served as Director of the Office of Service Learning (2004-06).  In 1999, Professor Travis received the Tulane Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching.  Also in 1999, she was awarded (with Professor Molly Anne Rothenberg) a grant from the Louisiana Board of Regents to construct a multi-media laboratory in the English department.  In 2001-02, she served as a consultant for the National Humanities Center to develop and participate in an interdisciplinary faculty development seminar for the Isidore Newman School (K-12) in New Orleans.
