Peter Leman is an Associate Professor of English at Brigham Young University, specializing in 20th- and 21st-century British and postcolonial literatures. His research focuses on African oral culture, Irish literature, postcolonial theory, law and literature, and colonial legal history. He holds a PhD in English from the University of California, Irvine (2011), alongside an MA (2006) and BA (2003) from UC Irvine and the University of Idaho, respectively.
His work bridges legal studies and literary analysis, particularly examining how oral traditions critique colonial modernity. Notable publications include analyses of Okot p’Bitek’s legal imagination and Jomo Kenyatta’s trial. Leman teaches courses on postcolonial literature, law and literature, and Anglophone African literature.
His recent scholarship explores temporal frameworks in East African literature, dictatorship narratives, and the intersection of colonialism with legal systems. Despite no explicit mentions of grants or awards, his extensive publications reflect sustained engagement with global South legal and literary critiques.
