Patricia (Pat) Gott received her Ph.D from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale in 2000. Her dissertation analyzed women�s individual and relational identity in the novels of Jean Rhys. Most recently, she has taught at Texas A & M University�Corpus Christi and Dakota Wesleyan University, as well as the University of Wisconsin�Superior. Her area of specialization includes modern and contemporary British literature,  multicultural American writers, and feminist studies. Other interests include studying popular culture and politics. Currently, Pat is faculty adviser for the UWSP Women�s Resource Center and the Pro-Choice Alliance.  

Two of her recent articles include �There is always the other side��: The �Other Women� of  Charlotte Bront�s Jane Eyre,� soon to be published in the next issue of the electronic journal LISA out of the University of Caen, France, and �Hardly Sentimental� The �Bad Girls� and Lonely Men of Mary McGarry Morris�s Fiction.� Look for the latter in the forthcoming Too Smart To Be Sentimental, an anthology of contemporary Irish American women writers which will be published by the University of Notre Dame Press.

In the fall of 2005, she presented �Images and Verse,� an ongoing exhibit of Pat�s poetry in collaboration with the photography of Paul Drewry at Gallery 218 in Milwaukee.

In her free time, she enjoys seeking out new music, watching independent films, and exploring the back roads of the Midwest. A native northern Wisconsinite, she is greatly relieved to be back in a state with a vast array of deciduous and conifer trees once again.
