Curriculum Vitae

If you would like to find out about me and my work in Polish Literature, Russian Literature, Comparative Literature and Literary Theory, take a look at my Curriculum Vitae, which provides convenient links to full-text versions of selected publications and reviews, conference papers, and course syllabi in a format familiar to academics. Unfortunately, not all of these files have Polish diacritics or cyrillic text yet.
