Tyler ("Ty") Blackerby

Tyler ("Ty") Blackerby is currently pursuing her M.A. She earned her B.A. in English and minors in Spanish and Comparative Literature from Trinity University. Her research primarily asks the question: in what ways do we see reverberations of the Holocaust and World War II history in contemporary literature and media? Since graduating, Tyler has been invited back to Trinty to give guest presentations to the courses “Literature of the Holocaust” and “The Jewish Graphic Novel." Upcoming work includes research on Children's Holocaust Literature and border aesthetics in graphic novels, to be presented at the Pacific Ancient Modern Language Association’s 120th Annual Conference in the fall of 2023.
