Department of English, has published a collection of black and white
photographs that capture the passion of Pearl Jam fans and their
connection to the band’s music through their favorite lyrics. Kang spent
10 years traveling to concerts across the country to create <em><a href="https://www.pearljamfanportraits.com/book/" title="https://www.pearljamfanportraits.com/book/" target="_blank">I Am Mine: Pearl Jam Fan Portraits</a></em>,
compiled from more than 1,000 fan portraits. “It was a true labor of
love: taking photos all day, going to the show that night, traveling on
to the next show the following day and taking red eye flights to make it
back in time to work my day job,” Kang says. “I wanted to do something
to capture how much the music means to all of us.”</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2023.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=304 | |

| Trivedi published in the journal; "Pedagogy" | Trivedi published in the journal; "Pedagogy" | ;atrivedi; | 4/7/2023 4:00:00 AM | | <p><strong>Amish Trivedi</strong>, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of English, was recently published in the journal <em><a href="https://read.dukeupress.edu/pedagogy" title="https://read.dukeupress.edu/pedagogy" target="_blank">Pedagogy</a></em>. The article, “<a href="https://read.dukeupress.edu/pedagogy/article-abstract/23/1/91/342604/Preparing-for-the-Posthistorical?redirectedFrom=fulltext" title="https://read.dukeupress.edu/pedagogy/article-abstract/23/1/91/342604/Preparing-for-the-Posthistorical?redirectedFrom=fulltext" target="_blank">Preparing for the Posthistorical University: Teaching Capital in the Creative Writing Classroom</a>,”
examines the application of critical pedagogy to creative writing
courses in the modern era of higher education. The article incorporates
discussions of various forms of capital and histories of cultural and
capital production to examine the tension between teaching knowledge
acquisition versus direct skills in creative writing classes. He
concludes that the goal in today’s teaching isn't to make writers,
necessarily, but to give students information and knowledge to not only
value the artforms taught, but to continue doing writing work if they
desire. Trivedi, a poet, has published three books along with several
other articles.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2023.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=299 | |
| Poole heads online Renaissance resource | Poole heads online Renaissance resource | ;kpoole;mkray;monicadt;jyates; | 3/17/2023 4:00:00 AM | | <p><strong>Kristen Poole</strong>, Ned B. Allen Professor of English, is the general editor of <a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/rrorw/?context=rrorw" title="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/rrorw/?context=rrorw">Routledge Resources Online - The Renaissance World</a> currently
available to the public, with a full launch schedule for summer 2023.
Poole began working with Routledge in 2017 to create this large-scale
digital platform that includes essays on the global Renaissance from
scholars across the disciplinary spectrum, including UD faculty <strong>Meredith K. Ray</strong>, Elias Ahuja Professor of Italian; <strong>Mónica Domínguez Torres</strong>, professor of art history with a joint appointment in Latin American and Iberian studies; and <strong>Julian Yates</strong>,
H. Fletcher Brown Professor of English, among experts drawn from other
institutions. “‘Renaissance’ is itself a fraught term, as is the very
question of how, or even whether, to divide the past into discrete eras.
Our authors do not hold a monolithic notion of ‘Renaissance’ as a
clearly defined time or movement. This resource invites a fresh take on
the period by emphasizing its movement and intersection—the travel of
people, ideas and objects,” Poole says.</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2023.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=293 | |
| Wasserman wins literary prize | Wasserman wins literary prize | | 12/9/2022 5:00:00 AM | | <p><strong>Sarah Wasserman</strong>,
associate professor of English and associate director of the Center for
Material and Culture Studies, won the 1921 Prize in American
Literature from the journal <em>American Literary History</em> for her 2021 article “<a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/859223/summary" target="_blank">Critical Darlings, Critical Dogs: Joseph O’Neill and What Contemporary Criticism Doesn’t Want”</a>.
The essay argues that the drive within literary studies to name new
paradigms obscures key historical continuities in contemporary fiction.
To explore this problem, Wasserman turns to Joseph O’Neill’s <em>The Dog </em>(2014), a novel mostly panned or ignored by critics. <em>The Dog</em> courts its status as an outcast by confounding readers’ expectations of novelty.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=263 | |
