Darrel Chia serves as an Assistant Instructional Professor for the Master of Arts Program in the Humanities (MAPH) at the University of Chicago, affiliated with the Division of the Humanities and teaching within the English Department context. His role focuses on interdisciplinary humanities education through MAPH's framework.
His research centers on colonial and post-colonial contexts, examining how contact, negotiation, and justification generate aesthetic, ethical, and intimate responses across Anglophone Literature, Critical Theory, and Gender Studies. Key areas include Postcolonial Theory, Intellectual History, Law and Literature, and narrative forms like The Novel and Nonfiction Prose. Recent courses such as Postcolonial Openings and The Lives of Others explore transnational crossings through works by Fanon, Spivak, Rhys, Walcott, Coetzee, and Roy, emphasizing intersections with climate change, democracy, and ethnographic limits.
