Event description: 

Jeffrey Jerome Cohen is Professor of English at the George Washington University in Washington, DC. His research examines strange things that challenge the imagination, phenomena that seem alien and intimate at the same time. He is especially interested in what monsters, foreigners, queer figures, inhuman forces, objects and matter that won’t stay put reveal about the cultures that dream, fear and desire them. Cohen is widely published in the fields of medieval studies, monster theory, and ecocriticism. His most recent book is Stone: An Ecology of the Inhuman (Minnesota, 2015).
