About
Jace Jung is a second year Ph.D. student in English Language and Literature at the University of Michigan. His research is on contemporary global Anglophone literature, island and archipelagic cultural production, ecocriticism, and posthuman theory. His research examines the interspecies entanglements between the sea/landscape in global anglophone oceanic novels to explore a posthuman polyphony and the ocean as an archive that subverts the image of the island as a dys/utopia.
