Professor Swarbrick's research explores the relationships between Renaissance ecological poetics, queer negativity, and the environmental unconscious. His work interrogates how early modern texts anticipate contemporary debates around extinction, asexuality, and object-oriented ontologies. Key projects include The Environmental Unconscious: Ecological Poetics from Spenser to Milton (2023) and The Earth Is Evil (2025), alongside collaborations on cinematic and posthumanist critiques.
Recent publications demonstrate trends in ecocritical Shakespeare studies, queer posthumanism, and Deleuzean interpretations of Renaissance texts. His scholarship bridges literary analysis with philosophical inquiry, emphasizing destructive environmentalism and the prosthetic imagination.
He teaches courses such as Shakespeare, Great Works of Literature, and Renaissance Poetry, with a pedagogical approach rooted in critical theory and interdisciplinary engagement.
