Alfred Bendixen is the founder and Executive Director of the American Literature Association and a lecturer in the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University.

Bendixen gained a Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina in 1979, with a thesis on "Americans in Europe before 1865: a study of the travel book".[1] He held posts at Barnard College (1979–1988) and California State University, Los Angeles (1988–2005) before moving to Texas A&M University, where he served as the Associate Department Head of English (2007–2009) and a Professor of English (2006–2013).[2] He now serves as a lecturer in the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University,[3] having previously been a lecturer in English at the same university.[4]

His research has centered on the recovery of 19th-century literature and neglected genres, including the ghost story, detective fiction, science fiction, and travel writing.[4]
