Dr. Alan Montroso is a Lecturer in the English Department at the University of Maryland, part of the College of Arts and Humanities. He earned his PhD from George Washington University in 2019 with a dissertation focused on medieval archives and marginalized figures. His teaching expertise includes Academic and Professional Writing, as well as special topics such as Shakespeare, disability studies, and film studies.
His research merges ecocriticism, posthumanism, and disability theory to analyze how medieval literature represents bodily and environmental entanglements in subterranean spaces. He argues that these environments foster unique capacities for survival and alternative modes of existence, challenging traditional narratives of human dominance over nature.
Montroso’s work has been published in journals like postmedieval and Arthuriana, as well as in edited volumes such as the Palgrave Handbook of Critical Posthumanism. In 2024, he was honored with the Excellence in Teaching Award from the University of Maryland’s Academic Writing Program.
His research also engages with medieval and early modern texts, exploring themes like ecological sovereignty, material processes, and cross-cultural exchanges. While no grants or lab affiliations are explicitly listed, his contributions to the Center for Literary and Comparative Studies highlight collaborative academic engagement.
