Tamas Juhasz

Tamas Juhasz is an Associate Professor at the Department of English Literatures and Cultures within the Faculty of Humanities at Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary. Previously, he held lecturing positions at Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Eötvös Loránd University, and Budapest University of Technology, where he taught Hungarian film history to international students. He earned his PhD in Modern English Literature from ELTE in 2006 with a dissertation titled "Joseph Conrad and His Concepts of Exchange."

Dr. Juhasz's research spans 20th and 21st century British novels, American literature, modernism, gender studies, postcolonial theory, film studies, and literary theory. His scholarly work demonstrates a sustained engagement with Joseph Conrad studies and the relationship between postcolonialism and sexuality, with particular focus on representations of masculinity. He has published extensively on British Asian authors including Monica Ali, Hanif Kureishi, and Kazuo Ishiguro.

His recent publications reveal a growing interest in urban studies and Hungarian-British literary connections, culminating in his 2024 edited volume "Urban Culture and the Modern City: Hungarian Case Studies" co-edited with Ágnes Györke. His scholarship consistently examines the intersections of cultural identity, migration, and narrative form across both Anglophone and Hungarian literary traditions.

Dr. Juhasz has served as an opponent at numerous doctoral defenses, including for dissertations on postsecular negotiations of faith, non-confirming women in neoliberal cities, homophilia in fin-de-siècle literature, and the literary reception of Sándor Márai. His international research experience includes positions at New York University (1994-95), University of British Columbia (2003-04), and University of Glasgow (2017). He is an active member of the Postcolonial Studies Association, Joseph Conrad Society (UK), and HUSSE.
