Welcome to my website. Please use the links above for information about my professional activities. I am the co-editor, with Gerald Graff and Greg Jay, of The Future of the Humanities Think Tank. My latest article, on defending the value of the Humanities and co-written with Gerald Graff, "Fear of Being Useful," is just out in Inside Higher Ed. For a review and other information about my latest book, Global Matters: The Transnational Turn in Literary Studies, please visit Global Matters. I have also been writing online about my travels in India. In Search of Gandhi's India is a record of my travels as a Fulbright scholar there in the summer of 2008. I am currently writing a new book about the state of the humanities and the future of literary studies.
