Jenna Kosnick graduated summa cum laude from Siena College with a Bachelor's of Arts in 2023. On campus, she worked at the Siena College Research Institute, primarily conducting political interviews, along with holding a position with Siena's Center for Sustainability promoting environmental interests on campus. Her research has focused primarily on issues of gender, sexuality, and sexual violence in Victorian and Early Modern texts. For her thesis, she explored a new method of discussing rape in
Tess of the D'Urbervilles based on interactions involving clothing in the text. Her work has also appeared at the Capital District's Feminist Studies Consortium Conference, tracing the homoeroticism of violence in
Beowulf. At Villanova, she's looking forward to expanding her studies of gender and sexuality, particularly to non-canonical texts. In her free time, she enjoys baking, horror movies, and bothering her cats.
