Daria Goncharova is an Assistant Professor of English at Davis & Elkins College. She received her Ph.D. in English from the University of Kentucky in 2024 and has a background in Linguistics and Cultural Studies. Her area of expertise is 20th-century and 21st-century American literature and film with an emphasis on the intersection of space, citizenship, and whiteness, a focus largely informed by her own experience as an international scholar residing in the USA.

She teaches literature courses and film studies courses, including global literature, American Literature I and II, introduction to film studies, and adaptation studies. She enjoys teaching students to analyze literature and film and to place these texts in their historical and cultural context. 

​

She has published in Adaptation, Literature/Film Quarterly, Contemporary Literature, and the edited collection Post45 Vs. The World and has publications forthcoming in New Review of Film & Television Studies (NRFTS). She is currently working on a book project examining the effects of the postwar suburban sprawl on regional literature and cultural narratives defining American citizenship.
