Duncan Faherty is a Professor in the Department of English at Queens College, City University of New York. His research focuses on the intersections of early American literature, the Haitian Revolution's cultural impact, architectural metaphors in nationalism, and the Black Atlantic. He co-founded the Just Teach One digital humanities project to recover marginalized early American texts.
His scholarship includes two monographs: Incipient Fevers: The Haitian Revolution & the Early Republic of Letters (Oxford UP, 2023) and Remodeling the Nation: The Architecture of American Identity (2007). His work explores how American writers used spatial metaphors and transatlantic exchanges to conceptualize national identity, particularly through engagements with the Haitian Revolution and early Black Atlantic networks.
His recent articles analyze Herman Melville’s Benito Cereno as a lens for global Black Atlantic studies and re-examines canonical periodization in early American novels. Faherty’s pedagogical contributions include collaborative digital humanities initiatives and courses on early Black Atlantic literature and post-Revolutionary cultural production.
