Cathy Caruth (born 1955) is Class of 1916 Professor of English at Cornell University and is appointed in the departments of English and Comparative Literature.
She taught previously at Yale and at Emory University, where she helped build the Department of Comparative Literature.
She received her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1988 and is the author of Empirical Truths and Critical Fictions: Locke, Wordsworth, Kant, Freud (Johns Hopkins UP, 1991), Unclaimed Experience: Trauma, Narrative and History (Johns Hopkins UP, 1996), Literature in the Ashes of History (Johns Hopkins UP, 2013) and Listening to Trauma: Conversations with Leaders in the Theory and Treatment of Catastrophic Experience (Johns Hopkins UP, forthcoming 2014).
