Conley's scholarship explores the intersections of international modernism and contemporary experimental writing, emphasizing Joyce's legacy, translation practices, and literature's cognitive dimensions. His work frequently engages with avant-garde traditions and cultural theory, contributing significantly to comparative literature studies through both critical analysis and creative production.
Recent publications (2020-2024) reveal expanding engagement with postmodern American literature (particularly William Gaddis), digital humanities, and intersections between literature, economics, and technology. While maintaining core focus on Joyce and modernist studies, his research increasingly examines cognitive frameworks, translation extremes, and literary responses to financialization and digital culture.
