Paul Peppis (Associate Professor)
Statement
My work examines relations between literature and life, theory and praxis, and strives to demonstrate that research and teaching can integrate these allegedly incompatible realms. My scholarship studies particular twentieth-century documents and artifacts to reassess modernism's diverse engagements with the social, political, and scientific movements of its time.
