Garry Leonard serves as a Professor in the Department of English at the University of Toronto Scarborough, maintaining active faculty status with direct contact via email garry.leonard@utoronto.ca and phone 416-287-7141 from office HW 334. His institutional affiliation places him within Canada's largest academic English department known for interdisciplinary approaches to literary studies.
Leonard's research traverses Modernism, Post-Modernism, and Globalization with specialized focus on James Joyce's works, Alfred Hitchcock's filmography, and Jean-Luc Godard's cinematic innovations. He critically examines intersections of commodity culture with visual media, analyzing advertising's role in shaping modernist aesthetics and narrative structures. His scholarship consistently explores how cinematic techniques and consumer capitalism influence identity construction in 20th-century literature.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals sustained engagement with Joyce's Ulysses and Dubliners through psychoanalytic and cultural theory lenses, alongside investigations of film noir's historical construction and Hollywood melodrama's economic underpinnings. Key thematic clusters include religious symbolism in secular modernity, gaze theory in Hitchcock-Poe comparisons, and technological mediation of human experience as evidenced by Kubrick-Heidegger studies.
