Delphine Munos

Delphine Munos is Senior Lecturer in Anglophone Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Liège, Belgium, where she serves in the Department of Modern Languages: Linguistics, Literature and Translation within the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. She has directed the Centre for Teaching and Research in Postcolonial Studies (CEREP) since 2022 and co-edits the book series 'Cross/Cultures: Readings in Post/Colonial Literatures and Cultures in English' (Brill).

Munos specializes in Anglophone postcolonial literatures and US ethnic literatures, with particular focus on minor-to-minor interactions between different postcolonial places and minority histories. Her research examines diasporic subjectivities, second-generation narratives, and the intersections of postcolonial theory with trauma studies and narrative theory. She has published extensively on South Asian diasporic literature, Caribbean writing, and African American literature.

Her recent publication trends reveal a sustained engagement with transnational literary connections, particularly examining how minoritized communities interact across geographical and historical boundaries. Munos's work frequently explores the representation of systemic violence, the politics of genre, and the complexities of diasporic identity formation. Her scholarship demonstrates methodological sophistication through the integration of postcolonial theory, narrative analysis, and trauma studies.

• Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship (2017-2019)
• MSH_Uliège grant for podcast project 'Casseuses d'ambiance' (2023)

Munos has supervised numerous graduate students and collaborates extensively with international scholars through CEREP. Her current research projects include 'Popular Literature of the Global South' (focusing on South African and Indian chick lit), 'Forensic Forms' (examining situated testimony in postcolonial literature), and 'Building Bridges Between Jhumpa Lahiri's English and Italian works.'

She leads CEREP, which fosters interdisciplinary research on postcolonial literatures and cultures through regular seminars, workshops, and international collaborations. The center serves as a hub for scholars working on decolonial approaches to literature, history, and cultural studies across multiple geographical contexts.
