Schey

A specialist in British Romanticism, I work at the intersection of poetics and critical theory, with a particular interest in how literary language both registers and participates in the historical production of race. My current book project, The Rhetoric of Racialization: British Romanticism and Everyday Antiblackness, elucidates the quotidian figural operations that consolidated logics of antiblackness in the early nineteenth century.

Interests 
 
I am a poet and scholar. In both areas, my work centers the epistemological potential of poetic language, with a particular interest in the relationship between poetry and ethics.  
 

Ghaly

I specialize in the modern and contemporary novel, environmental humanities, novel studies, theory, and how literature and humanities methods can address public advocacy and policy change on climate and environmental justice. My research interests include the novel and post-novelistic media, archives of biodiversity loss and species extinction, the literature of planetary crisis, and the critical methods and ways of thinking the novel affords to address the climate and biodiversity crises.
