Dr. Kevin Blane Shields-Hogue serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of English at Kentucky Wesleyan College, teaching since summer 2018. He specializes in online instruction for Readings in World Literature and periodically teaches courses on modernist/post-modernist literature, British feminism, women's illness narratives, autobiography, and the African diaspora.
His academic credentials include a Doctor of Arts in English Literature Pedagogy from Murray State University (concentration: literature of marginalized social groups), a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences (Sociology) from Morehead State University, and a Bachelor's degree from Kentucky Wesleyan College with emphases in English, humanities, and social/behavioral sciences. Additional education includes an associate degree from Weber State University and studies at Berea College.
Dr. Shields-Hogue's research demonstrates deep interdisciplinary engagement across World Literature, Africana Studies, and Gender Studies, with recurring focus on marginalized voices in slave narratives, feminist theory, and sociological dimensions of literature. His work bridges literary analysis with health humanities, examining power dynamics in medical narratives and autobiographical expression in healthcare contexts.
His scholarly output centers on marginalized identity construction, as evidenced by his 2019 conference presentation on urban exclusion and LGBTQ refugee narratives. Current projects analyzing Harriet Jacobs's slave narrative and autobiographical methods in health records reveal consistent thematic threads connecting literary theory, social justice, and institutional power structures.
