Teaching

Our teaching is dedicated to literary texts and other media from different places across the Anglophone world. We are committed to drawing attention to the marginalized and overlooked voices of postcolonial and transcultural writers. Due to our transcultural focus, the topics and courses we offer are both distinct and diverse, covering a wide range of cultures, genres and periods. We examine central cultural and literary topics such as memory and trauma, transculturality and cosmopolitanism, gender and sexuality, postcolonial justice and ethics, visuality and visibility, among others. Our section takes special interest in Australian digital studies, which puts issues of postcoloniality, migration, and the environment center stage, all of which are highly pertinent globally. We aim to attune students to pressing political, cultural and social issues and the complex ways in which these topics are negotiated in the realm of fiction.
