==Career== |

In two books and a series of articles, Franklin has paid special attention to [[Life writing|life-writing]], directing attention to overlooked subgenres such as the academic memoir and "collective" life-writing. As co-editor of the journal ''[[Biography (journal)|Biography]]'', she plays a key role in shaping global scholarship on life-writing. Two special issues—''Personal Effects'' and ''Translating Lives''—she co-curated for ''Biography,'' indicate this role. Through these special issues she has driven scholarly recognition of life-writing as a political as well as global genre. |

Franklin's book-length latest{{When|date=March 2018}} work is ''Academic Lives: Memoir, Cultural Theory and the University Today'' (U of Georgia Press, 2009). This book is a trenchant and wide-ranging critique of strands of contemporary cultural theory—feminist, [[Postcolonialism|post-colonial]], [[disability studies]] and critical [[race studies]] amongst others. By scrutinizing memoirs written by such influential fellow critics as [[Edward Said]] and [[Jane Tompkins]], Franklin throws startling light on ignored aspects of academic culture. Franklin's previous book ''Writing Women's Communities: The Politics and Poetics of Contemporary Multi-Genre Anthologies'' (University of Wisconsin Press, 1997) shows how feminist writers of the 70s and 80s pioneered the anthology as a unique form of narrating women's lives. |
