        Dr. Monika Brown, Professor of English, joined the UNC Pembroke faculty in 1982.  She teaches British literature, world literature, 
honors humanities, composition, and English education, including advanced and graduate courses on The British Novel, Literature and Arts,
Victorian Literature, and  The Teaching of Writing.   Her past teaching was at Winthrop University and at the University of Münster, Germany. 
In 1997 and 2005 she received  UNC Pembroke Outstanding Teaching Awards.  She is married to Dr. Robert W. Brown, Chair of History at
UNC Pembroke.  Their daughter Sarah attends school in Moore County, NC. 
        Dr. Brown's research interests include the nineteenth-century British novel and criticism of the novel, nineteenth-century British and
European literature and culture, adaptations of literature into film and music, the teaching of literature, and the teaching of writing,
especially argument and academic writing.   She has participated in NEH-sponsored seminars on composition theory, literature and music,
Goethe's Faust, and realist fiction, and she has presented papers on literature, composition, and pedagogy at regional and national conferences. 
      She has published essays on  literary topics:  Joseph Conrad’s short fiction in the Dictionary of Literary Biography;  George Eliot's criticism
in Victorians Institute Journal;  Victorian fiction criticism in Victorian Britain and The Yearbook of Interdisciplinary Studies of the Fine Arts; 
and  film adaptations of The Turn of the Screw in Mosaic.  Her articles on literature pedagogy appear in the CEA Critic and in the Modern Language
Association's Approaches to Teaching volumes on Madame Bovary and The Turn of the Screw.   She is studying  the Victorian novel Father Oswald,
narrative strategies in Polanski’s film Tess, and Gounod's opera Faust in its cultural context.  
       Through graduate courses, NCETA presentations, workshops and consultations for teachers, and class visits,  Dr.  Brown supports
area schools in teaching  writing (especially argument and  research papers), British and World literature (especially novels, epics, and poems),
and adaptations of literature in film and music.
