Rasheed Tazudeen is a Lecturer in English at Yale University, holding a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley (2015). His research critically examines intersections of ecology, race, and sound in 20th- and 21st-century literature and music. His first book, Modernism’s Inhuman Worlds (Cornell UP, 2024), explores modernist responses to ecological precarity and nonhuman being through a decolonial lens. Current projects include The Musicked Earth, investigating diasporic sound ecologies in Black Atlantic, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean cultural works.
His scholarship bridges ecocriticism, postcolonial theory, and sound studies, analyzing works by authors like Woolf, Joyce, Gumbs, and Coltrane. He co-founded Yale’s Antiracist Pedagogy Reading Group and developed a research guide on oral history as decolonial methodology. Key themes include decolonizing knowledge systems, antiracist pedagogy, and reimagining ecological futures through sound and metaphor.
Publications span journals like Parallax and Humanities, with upcoming work in Black Environmentalisms (Duke UP, 2025) and the Oxford Handbook to Queer Modernisms. His interdisciplinary approach synthesizes literary analysis with musicology and environmental humanities, emphasizing marginalized voices in global ecological discourse.
