Heidi Butler specializes in Canadian literature, particularly Atlantic Canadian fiction. Her academic interests include representations of youth in Canadian fiction, Canadian women’s writing, and feminist theory and criticism. She co-edited a special edition of Studies in Canadian Literature titled “Adolescence in Canadian Literature,” for which she co-authored the introduction. She has also published work in Critique: Studies in Twentieth-Century Fiction. Her next projects include revising her dissertation for publication as a book examining adolescent girl characters in the work of Atlantic Canadian women novelists. She is also beginning a new study of youth in Canadian fiction which suggests that youth reflect and affect contemporary concepts of Canadian national identity.
