I’ve been waiting until the last contract was signed to share this excellent news. Meet the colleagues who will bring their intellectual energy and creativity to the English Department in 2022/23. I still can’t believe our good fortune in having been successful at hiring such a stellar group of thinkers, writers, creators, and activists.
Paul Tran will join us from Stanford University as Anna Julia Cooper Fellow in fall ’22 (a position that will transition to joint assistant professor appointment in English/Creative Writing and Asian American Studies in fall ’23), poet Erika Meitner will join us as professor in creative writing from Virginia Tech, Kirk Sides comes to us as advanced assistant professor in Global Black Literatures from the University of Bristol, Raquel Kennon will join us as associate professor, also in Global Black Literatures, from California State University, Alison Rollins will join us as teaching faculty in creative writing in Fall ’23 (after finishing her MFA degree at Brown), poet Nate Marshall will join us as advanced assistant professor from Colorado College, Amadi Ozier just got her Ph.D. from Rutgers University and will be a beginning assistant professor in Global Black Literatures, and Amina El-Annan will join us as lecturer from Baruch College. Are we lucky or what?
