- Virginia Sugg Furrow Dissertation Fellow
Justice Flint is a doctoral candidate in English at Baylor University (anticipated graduation August 2027), where she also earned her Master of Arts in English in 2022 after graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts from Bethel College in 2020. During her time at Baylor, she has served as a Teacher of Record in the English Department, a writing consultant in the Center for Writing Excellence, and a Graduate School Conyers Scholar. Directed by Dr. Kristen Pond, her dissertation, titled "Ideal Womanhood in The Christian Lady's Magazine, 1834–1848," investigates the British Evangelical periodical The Christian Lady's Magazine to examine how Victorian Evangelical discourse constructed and popularized "Angel in the House" gender ideals across themes of piety, moral influence, marital and societal roles, and domesticity. By analyzing these nineteenth-century print artifacts through a postsecular lens, her research highlights how Victorian gender norms became intertwined with Evangelical Christian identity, shedding light on the historical roots of modern debates surrounding gender roles and biblical womanhood.
