Kilachand Studio Coordinator, Senior Lecturer, CAS Writing Program
Christopher McVey is a Senior Lecturer with the Writing Program and Kilachand Honors College. He completed his M.A. at the University of Virginia in 2008 and his Ph.D. in English Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2014. His research interests include twentieth-century literary modernism, contemporary poetry, and the modern novel, as well as speculative fiction, the dystopia, and contemporary horror. He is an active member of the International T. S. Eliot Society, having published a range of articles on Eliot’s life and work, and has served as Book Review Editor for the Society newsletter,
Time Present.
He is currently at work on a project entitled
The End of the World (And Everything After), which studies a range of dystopian and post-apocalyptic novels and films to explore what these texts reveal about the dissolving distinction between human and non-human, humanity’s relationship with the natural world, bioethics, environmental collapse, geopolitical disruption, surveillance capitalism, and technological rupture.
Chris’s essays have appeared in
The Journal of Modern Literature,
The T. S. Eliot Studies Annual, and the
South Atlantic Review, among other places.
