She is the Director of Humanities Initiatives for USC’s Joint Educational Project, the oldest and largest service-learning program in the country. Her dissertation on “Women Readers and the Victorian Jane Austen” includes a chapter analyzing the ways in which Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Villette were written in response to Jane Austen’s novels. Dr. Villaseñor regularly speaks on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British literature at academic conferences in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and her research on the Austen family has been published in the Jane Austen Society Report and Persuasions: the Jane Austen Journal. In her role as the 2006 Jane Austen Society of North America International Visitor, she spent two glorious months in England working on projects for the UK Jane Austen Society, the Jane Austen House Museum, and the Chawton House Library for British Woman Writers. A visit to the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth last July was one of the high points of her most recent trip to England.  Event Info
