معرفی
Marlo Starr is an Assistant Professor of English at Wittenberg University, specializing in contemporary poetry and postcolonial studies. She teaches creative writing, advanced poetry, composition, environmental literatures, and global literatures in English, with research emphasizing Indigenous feminist critiques of settler colonialism and environmental relationships.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD in English from Emory University (2018)
- MFA in Poetry from Johns Hopkins University (2020)
- BA in English from Rutgers University–Newark (2008)
Starr's scholarship interrogates nuclear imperialism, militarization, and climate change through Caribbean and Pacific Island literatures, utilizing archival studies and small print culture to explore trans-Indigenous resistance. Her work consistently centers Indigenous feminisms as frameworks for decolonizing environmental and literary practices.
Analysis of her 2016-2020 publications reveals thematic continuity in examining transnational literary networks, nuclear legacies, and technology-feminism intersections. These works in journals like Textual Practice and Meridians demonstrate methodological innovation through slow scholarship approaches and amplification of marginalized voices.
Key honors include:
- Shortlisted for Amsterdam Open Book Prize (2021)
- Pangea Prize for Best Series of Poems (2020)
- National Poetry Series Finalist (2020)
- Benjamin T. Sankey Fellowship (2020)
Starr secured institutional funding to co-found Johns Hopkins' Postcolonial Ecocriticism Research Cluster (2019-2020). While current advising details are unspecified, her pedagogy integrates creative practice with critical theory mentorship. Her poetic works appear in The Threepenny Review and Ghost City Review, complementing her scholarly output.
At Wittenberg, she contributes to the Department of English's academic mission through interdisciplinary curriculum development, though dedicated research labs or teams aren't documented in available materials.
