We seek a literary scholar specializing in the area of pre-1940 British Studies, with the understanding that the Anglophone literary production of (now) formerly colonized nations and the broad history of the Anglophone novel (eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries) forms part of a world history shaped by imperialism and its aftermath. We encourage interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches and methodologies, including interests in genre studies, graphic narrative, serial television, digital production, and other modes of narrative expression. Duties will include undergraduate and graduate teaching, research, and service to the department, program, college, and university. Half of this position’s teaching load would be for the interdisciplinary Plan II Honors Program, and specifically the two-semester sequence of World Literature that forms the first-year core of the program. Required of every first-year undergraduate, World Literature introduces students to global cultures and thought from a wide variety of perspectives. Often organized around a theme, the two-semester course is a (roughly) chronological history of literary expression from the ancient world to the present day and includes different genres (epic, poetry, theatre, the novel, short story, etc.) from different cultures and continents, including Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. Structured as a seminar, World Literature is discussion-based, with an emphasis on engagement with ideas" November 1, 2024. T/TT. FT. https://faculty.utexas.edu/career/145594
