Dr. C. Kwok

I specialize in Global Anglophone literatures from the long nineteenth century to today, with a focus on race, imperialism, and an artistic style and political concept called decadence. My interests run across the British Romantic and Victorian literatures, American literature, and the literatures from the Global South, with a secondary focus on some Francophone and Sinophone literatures in their original forms and in translation. I place these interests in conversation with scholarship from Asian Diaspora Studies, Black Studies, Caribbean Studies, Indigenous Studies, Decolonial and Postcolonial theory, and Queer-of-Color critique. I also have interests in World Literature and Translation Studies, the Digital Humanities, and the teaching of Writing and Composition.
