Dr. Steve Pearson is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus, specializing in Ethnic U.S. Literatures, World Literatures, and Religion in Literature. He holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of Georgia (2008) and has taught courses ranging from World Literature sequences to Ethnic U.S. studies, including Asian-American and Latina/o literatures. His research explores intersections between religion and narrative forms, with a focus on comedy, devotional traditions, and pedagogy.

His research interests include religion’s influence on literary forms, minority U.S. narratives, and the pedagogical challenges of teaching global literature. He has published works on topics like Korean Shamanism in immigrant literature, diasporic monasticism, and Chinese mythology in American texts. Dr. Pearson is active in professional organizations such as MELUS (Multi-Ethnic Literature of the U.S.) and emphasizes inclusive teaching practices.
Though widely traveled in academia—from theater to theology to comparative literature—he remains puzzled by social media’s role in scholarly communication, as humorously noted in his biography.
