Jutta L Schamp

I have been teaching at California State University, Northridge since 2004. In addition to CSUN, I have taught at Santa Monica College, California State University, Dominguez Hills, and the University of Southern California.

I have written a book-length study on the representation of time in Shakespeare’s _Richard II_, _Henry IV_, and _Macbeth_ (1997), which was my Ph.D. thesis. My additional published work has examined the reconfiguration of Jewish American femininities, post-Holocaust literature, Shakespeare appropriation, and black and Jewish relations, as well as the representation of trauma, transfiguration, and literary alchemy in the work of David Dabydeen. Recent publications include “Whose Shadow Is It? The Representation of Postcolonial Trauma and Creativity in Anton Nimblett’s ‘Ring Games’ and ‘Sections of an Orange.’” (International Journal of Jungian Studies; Routledge, August 2018) and “Creolizing C.G. Jung? Re-imagined Alchemy and Individuation in Anton Nimblett’s Sections of an Orange and Lelawattee Manoo-Rahming’s Curry Flavour” (_Journal of Postcolonial Writing_; Routledge, June 2016), and “Does My Voice Count: The Reconfiguration of Myth and Gender in Monique Roffey’ s _The Mermaid of Black Conch_.” (_Journal of Global Postcolonial Studies_,December 2024).

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, hanging out with friends, being in nature, and my favorite weekend activities include hiking or camping in the wilderness during our summer break.
