Tom Fick specializes in nineteenth- and twentieth-century American literature. Current research interests include the representation of African Americans in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century white-authored texts, nineteenth-century women's fiction, and the literature of the color line. He has directed three Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities seminars for secondary school teachers and (with Professor Eva Gold) has recently published an edition of Alice Ilgenfritz Jones's Beatrice of Bayou Teche. On-going projects include a critical study and edition of Edward Larocque Tinker's Toucoutou and an examination of white authors' appropriation of the revolution in St. Domingue.
