Dana D. Nelson
Dana D. Nelson is a professor of English at Vanderbilt University and a prominent progressive advocate for citizenship and democracy. She is notable for her criticism—in her books such as ''Bad for Democracy—''of excessive presidential power and for exposing a tendency by Americans towards ''presidentialism'', which she defines as the people's neglect of basic citizenship duties while hoping the president will solve most problems. Her scholarship focuses on early American literature relating to citizenship and democratic government.〔
==Academic career==
Nelson earned a bachelor's degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1984 and master's (1986) and doctoral degrees (1989) from Michigan State University.〔 She was associate professor of English at the University of Kentucky in 1998. Nelson's ''The Word in Black and White: Reading "Race" in American Literature, 1638–1867'' was named the "an Outstanding Academic Book of 1992–1993 by Choice." The book explored how eleven "Anglo-American authors constructed 'race'" including a study of ''The Last of the Mohicans'' and ''Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl'', and earned positive reviews.〔
She taught at the University of Kentucky, Duke University, the University of Washington, and Louisiana State University.〔 In 2006, she co-edited with Russ Castronovo a collection of essays entitled ''Materializing Democracy: Toward a Revitalized Cultural Politics''. One reviewer described the effort as an "ambitious, multi-disciplinary effort to make the subjective turn by warning against the danger of reducing democracy to 'an exclusively moral category that is no longer connected with political, economic, or social categories.'" In 2007, she wrote an essay entitled ''Democracy in Theory'' in the journal of American Literary History.〔 She edited 19th century abolitionist Lydia Marie Child's ''A Romance of the Republic'' in 2003.
In 2009, Dana D. Nelson is the Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt professor of English and American studies at Vanderbilt University.〔〔 She teaches U.S. literature,〔 history, and culture and courses that connect activism, volunteering, and citizenship.〔 She has lectured at colleges such as Purdue University〔 and the University of Kentucky. She has published numerous books, essay collections, and articles on U.S. literature and the history of citizenship and democratic culture.〔 Nelson lives in Nashville where she is involved in a program that helps incarcerated women develop better decision-making skills and works with an innovative activist group fighting homelessness in the area.〔 Nelson is co-editor of the academic journal ''J19: The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists''.〔(J19 website )〕
