David Hollingshead

Dr. Hollingshead's work, both in the classroom and on the page, asks a recurring set of questions: 1) How are texts implicated in the production of knowledge systems? 2) How do those knowledge systems work to entrench, circumvent or obfuscate existing power structures? 3) How might literature and other cultural productions help us theorize those power structures in new ways? Answering these questions entails examining texts from a variety of perspectives, from the historical to the formal to the scientific. Students are encouraged to make connections between specific textual details gleaned through close reading and the broader concepts, contexts and ideas that inform our discussions. | American literature, biopolitics and race, gender and sexuality studies, science and literature, critical theory
