Biography

My research interests include representation, subjectivity, and embodiment in transnational and multilingual late modern and modernist literature and art. My focus is on Polish modernism and I am currently working on biopolitics and representation in Witkacy's late work and have recently published a book chapter on masculinity in Bruno Schulz.

Current Courses

POLI 20403 / 30403/30403 Third-Year Polish I

(30403)

The process of learning in all three quarters of Third-Year Polish is framed by three themes, which most succinctly but aptly characterize Polish life, culture, and history: in the Autumn Quarter--the noble democracy in the Commonwealth of Both Nations, in the Winter Quarter--the fight for independence, and in the Spring Quarter--the newly independent Poland. During the course of the year, students also improve their knowledge of advanced grammar and stylistics. All work in Polish.

All work in Polish.
