Dr. Henrieta Krupa’s Research Published in Web of Science–Indexed Academic Journals

Faculty News: Research Recognition for Dr. Henrieta Krupa

The Department of English Language and Literature at Girne American University is pleased to announce recent international publication achievements by Dr. Henrieta Krupa, reflecting her sustained contribution to interdisciplinary research in literary studies, pedagogy, feminist theory, and trauma studies.

Dr. Krupa’s article entitled “Interdisciplinary Learning by Bridging Theory and Literature: Exploring Feminist Discourse through Fiction” has been accepted for publication in Organon F, an international peer-reviewed journal of analytic philosophy founded in 1994 and indexed, among others, in Arts & Humanities Citation Index® (AHCI–Web of Science), Current Contents/Arts & Humanities®, and Scopus.

The study advances an interdisciplinary pedagogical framework that integrates theoretical instruction with literary analysis, demonstrating how abstract concepts can be introduced, interpreted, and contextualized through fiction to enhance critical engagement and interpretive skills.

In addition, Dr. Krupa’s article “The Legacy of Trauma in The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano” has been published in Litera: Journal of Language, Literature and Culture Studies, the official academic journal of Istanbul University, founded in 1954. The article appears in Volume 35, Issue 2 (2025). The journal is indexed, among others, in Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI–Web of Science), Scopus, and TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM TR Dizin.

This article examines the role of trauma in shaping Olaudah Equiano’s narrative, proposing that narrative fragmentation, ambiguities, and silences can be read as traces of traumatic memory rather than issues of authenticity. Drawing on trauma theory, the study offers a trauma-informed reading of the slave narrative, highlighting how textual dissociation and narrative gaps testify to the psychological burden of enslavement and displacement.

Together, these publications demonstrate Dr. Krupa’s ongoing engagement with international scholarly dialogue and her commitment to advancing interdisciplinary research in pedagogy, literary studies, feminist theory, trauma studies, and cultural criticism. The Department congratulates Dr. Krupa on these distinguished achievements and recognizes her continued contribution to academic excellence and international research visibility.
