“Without literature, I wouldn’t be able to articulate how many of their beliefs felt wrong to me. In teaching, I hope that my students are invited into that kind of questioning in relation to their own unique lives and experiences.”

Dr. Anita Mannur, Associate Professor of English

“What guides my interests are teaching materials that I would have wanted to learn when I was a student. And I know that many people have not encountered Asian and Asian American Studies, postcolonial, ethnic literature, and I like to introduce that to them. The books I end up teaching are by authors of color, queer authors, etc. If I can have people think that they’ve read something they would have never read before, then it adds to my experience as a professor.

Dr. Sara Austin, Visiting Assistant Professor of English

Miami’s faculty is doing scholarship in some pretty cool topics, but maybe none quite as cool as aliens in pop culture and masculinity in superhero cartoons. This is what Dr. Sara Austin has been working on lately. Austin is in her first year at Miami University.
