About

Camila (Cammy) Ring’s teaching invites students to explore how literary style can de-automate our perceptions and open up alternative ways for us to make sense of the world. Some of her favorite course themes to teach include “Language of the Suffering Body” (ENGL 285: Special Topics), “Love, Hate, and Obsession” (ENGL 200: Literature in English), and “Poetry and Possibility” (ENGL 257B: Reading Poetry).

Cammy’s research focuses on the relationship between poetic form and religious thought. Her dissertative work in this area has been nominated for the Council of Graduate Studies/ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Awards. Her scholarship on Emily Dickinson and Gerard Manley Hopkins has appeared or is forthcoming in English Literary History and Modern Philology, and her poems have appeared in Colorado Review, Gordon Square Review, and elsewhere. Cammy earned her PhD in English from Case Western Reserve University in 2025. She earned her MA in English from CWRU as well, during which time she was awarded the WRC Excellence in Consulting Award.
