of discovery and newer models of public engagement. She is the author of
Managing Literacy, Mothering America: Women’s Narratives on Reading and
Writing in the Nineteenth Century (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2004;
paperback 2006), which won an American Library Association Choice Award

century. Co-edited with Professor Emerita of History Ann Pullen,
Robbins’s newest book will be published by Parlor Press of Purdue
University. Entitled “You Are Helping in This Blessed Work,” the book
includes interpretive essays setting Arnott’s experience in the larger
context of colonialism in Africa, while also examining the ways in which
missionary publications of that era intersected with other genres, such
as women’s travel writing. Robbins’s longstanding research collaboration
with Professor Pullen has also involved team teaching in Gender Studies,
research on technology and teaching, and the development of a Web site
on women's work in the long 19th century.

experience, Robbins facilitates faculty development programs in a wide
range of settings all over the country. A consultant for the National

collaborative development of interdisciplinary programs in American
studies and gender and women's studies. Earlier on, she helped establish
Kennesaw State’s English education programs at the undergraduate and
graduate levels. Robbins' work in collaborative humanities teaching
earned her one of the Georgia Humanities Council's Governor's awards in
2006.
Robbins attended Agnes Scott College before transferring to University
of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where she earned a B.A. and an M.A. in
English, with a support concentration in Italian. After working in K-12
and community college teaching for more than 10 years, Robbins completed

Ann Arbor, where she was a Regents Fellow (UM’s highest competitive
award for graduate students) and a Center for the Education of Women
