Julia Isler

Julia Isler is a third-year Ph.D. candidate. They focus on experiments in the portrayal of time in modernist fiction. They understand such experiments as attempts to provide alternatives to the increasingly rigid and homogenized organization of time under early twentieth-century capitalism. They are interested in how the subjective experience of time under capitalism is structured by hierarchies of race, sexuality, and gender. They are currently researching the heterogeneous flow of time and syntax in Virginia Woolf’s Orlando.
