Biography: Ramsey McGlazer (B.A., M.A., Columbia University, Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley) has taught at Brown, at UC Berkeley, and, with the Prison University Project, at San Quentin State Prison. He studies comparative modernisms (Italian, English, and Latin American), postwar Italian film, poetry and poetics, histories and theories of education, critical theory, queer theory, and psychoanalysis. Ramsey’s recent essays have addressed topics ranging from Fascist-era “schoolgirl comedies” in Italy to Latin American modernist lyric and its legacies, and the work of queer theorist Leo Bersani. In 2016, his dissertation, “Old Schools: Modernism, Pedagogy, and the Critique of Progress,” was co-winner of the Charles Bernheimer Prize, awarded yearly by the American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) for best dissertation in the discipline. In 2015-2016, he was a Pembroke Center Postdoctoral Fellow at Brown University, and he is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Berkeley, where he works in both the Department of Comparative Literature and the International Consortium for Critical Theory Programs (ICCTP).
