Guest Lectures
Invited lectures on literature, reading, and the ideas that shape literary study.
I deliver guest lectures for universities, literary organisations, schools, conferences, and reading communities. Each lecture combines close engagement with literary texts, historical context, and critical inquiry, encouraging audiences to read more attentively and think more deeply about literature. Lectures are developed for the interests of the host institution and may introduce a field of study, explore a particular author or text, or examine broader questions in literary history and criticism.
Lecture Topics
Examples include:
- Close Reading as a Literary Practice
- Reading the Literary Classics Today
- African Literature and World Literature
- Postcolonial Literature
- Ecocriticism and Environmental Humanities
- Literary Interpretation and Critical Theory
- Independent Literary Study
Additional topics may be developed in consultation with the host institution.
