Deborah Caslav Covino is Assistant Professor of English and Women's Studies at Florida Atlantic University. She teaches courses in feminist theory and aesthetics, literary theory, literature and medicine, and visual and literary representations of the body. Her current book project, Aesthetic Surgeries: Grotesque Protest and the Sculpted Body, examines both the current boom in aesthetic surgery and contemporary feminist refigurations of the female body, as they both acknowledge and resist human abjection.
