Andrew Burkett serves as Associate Professor of English at Union College, where he has established a distinguished career in British Romantic literature through an innovative interdisciplinary lens that bridges humanities with scientific and technological discourses. His scholarly identity centers on examining how Romantic-era writers engaged with contemporary scientific thought and media forms, positioning him as a significant voice in modern Romantic studies.
His core research explores the dynamic intersections of science, technology, and imaginative literature during the British Romantic period, with specialized expertise in media theory as evidenced by his monograph Romantic Mediations: Media Theory and British Romanticism. This work extends to pedagogical innovation in collaborative cross-disciplinary teaching—particularly between literature and electrical engineering—and to multimedia approaches in William Blake scholarship, reflecting his commitment to transcending traditional academic boundaries.
