Kevin Frank is an Associate Professor at Brooklyn College within the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, Department of English. As a scholar of Caribbean and postcolonial literature, his work examines intersections between British imperial ideology, Caribbean cultural production, and diasporic identity formation. He holds a Ph.D. in English from UCLA.
Frank's research spans themes of alienation, creolization, and cultural resistance, with a focus on Caribbean writers like V.S. Naipaul, Wilson Harris, and David Dabydeen. His publications and conference presentations explore Victorian literature's colonial entanglements and contemporary Caribbean cultural expressions through carnival, soca, and dancehall.
His scholarly output reveals a thematic progression from critiquing postcolonial alienation (2007-2011) to analyzing literary modernism/postmodernism (2018) and ongoing work on El Dorado mythologies in Caribbean literature. Awards include the Ford Postdoctoral Fellowship at Yale University. Frank actively participates in academic governance through roles in the Faculty Senate and curriculum development.
