Elisa Glick's research combines three interdisciplinary fields: modernist studies; sexuality and gender studies; and critical theory and cultural criticism. She has published articles in Cultural Critique, Feminist Review, GLQ and Modern Fiction Studies. Glick's book, Materializing Queer Desire: Oscar Wilde to Andy Warhol (SUNY University Press, 2009), is a study of queer dandyism and its relation to the sphere of the commodity in modern literature and culture.
Glick attended graduate school at Brown University and received her PhD in English in 2001. She is a 2002 recipient of the MU Catalyst Award for LGBT activism. In 2006, she was awarded the Provost's Outstanding Junior Faculty Teaching Award, which recognizes junior faculty "for superior teaching and advising on the MU campus."
