About the channel
I'm a young, aspiring philosophy and literature professor who enjoys teaching and explicating exciting and novel concepts in the realm of philosophy and literature! My specialties are in postmodern philosophy and literature, phenomenology, pragmatism, postcolonial studies, gender theory, and affect theory. Thinkers of interest include Joyce, Deleuze & Guattari, Foucault, Nietzsche, Burroughs, and Pynchon. I am particularly interested in the study of James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" as a postmodern text. With the Wake as centerpiece, I am curious how notions of performativity, textual materiality, rhythm, gesture, form, and the dynamics of the reading experience shape the way we interpret texts and thereby interface with our world.
