Kayleigh Ng is a doctoral candidate in the Department of English at the University of Pennsylvania, where she studies 18th-century literature. Her dissertation aims to trace the relationship between female subjectivity, fracture, and the novel. It follows the concept of "undoing" across eighteenth-century novels and into twenty- and twenty-first century autofictional novels written by women, investigating the role that violence plays in constituting female subjectivity or in rendering it visible. She holds a BA in English from the University of Chicago, as well as an MA in English and an MS in Information Studies from the University of Texas at Austin.

At UT Austin, Kayleigh completed graduate portfolios in Digital Studies and Museum Studies, worked in the reference department of the Harry Ransom Center, and contributed to the Modernist Archives Publishing Project (MAPP).

At Penn, Kayleigh has assisted with rare book and special collections processing at the Kislak Center, contributed to the Keywords for Black Louisiana project as a French transcriber/translator, and serves as the communications coordinator for the Price Lab. Kayleigh is a coordinator of the ResVic working group as well as the Workshop Coordinator for the GEA—please reach out if you have questions or suggestions about either group's programming.
