Dr. Schubert earned her B.A. in English from Hillsdale College and spent a year in South Korea teaching ESL before attending the University of Dallas for graduate school. During her time at UD, she studied philosophy, politics, and literature, and taught classes on the classical and Christian epics, on grammar, logic, and rhetoric, and on the history of the liberal arts in the Middle Ages. At Wyoming Catholic College, she teaches in the trivium and humanities tracks.

In her research, Dr. Schubert explores the way the narrative structure of Christianity, particularly its happy ending, affects the structure of both medieval romances and the modern novel. She also works on the intersection of literature and philosophy, on what the literary convention of the happy ending can reveal about happiness itself. Her main focus is the literature of Jane Austen, and in 2023, she published Jane Austen’s Romantic Medievalism: Courtly Love and Happy Endings. She has also published articles on Jane Austen, Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis, and the Pearl-poet, and is interested in the relationship between the liberal arts and happiness.
