Interview with Prof. Joyce Zonana

Everybody has a story to tell. BMCC English Professor Joyce Zonana shares her personal life story in her recently-released book, Dream Homes: From Cairo to Katrina, an Exile's Journey, published by CUNY Feminist Press, 2008.

Joyce Zonana earned her Ph.D. in English at the University of Pennsylvania. Before coming to BMCC in 2006, she taught for 15 years at the University of New Orleans, where she was also Director of Womens Studies. Several chapters from her yet-to-be-published memoir, Dream Home, have appeared in journals and books, including Meridians, International Sephardic Journal, Jewish Womens Literary Annual, and Becoming American: Personal Essays by First Generation Immigrant Women. Her scholarly articles, on feminist theory and 19th century British literature, have appeared in Hudson Review, Signs, Victorian Poetry, Tulsa Studies in Womens Literature, and Journal of Narrative Technique.
