Camilla Ulleland Hoel

PhD in English Literature from the University of Edinburgh (2012). Has worked at NTNU, but since 2015 been Associate Professor of English at the Norwegian Air Force Academy.

Her primary focus of research has been the reception of unfinished narratives, the question of who has the authority to complete them, and how the perception of authorial authority affects the attitude to the text – the primary focus being Charles Dickens’ unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1870), but also the early fan reception of Sherlock Holmes. She is currently writing a book on the subject. She has also been researching gender and alterity in science fiction, as well as how the genre uses (post)-apocalyptic scenarios to investigate problem of ethics and power. More recently she has worked on how fan dynamics affected the reception of the early phase of the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. 

Hoel teaches English language, rhetoric, propaganda and the news, and intercultural communication.
