Todd Hoffman serves as a Professor in the Department of English & World Languages at Augusta University's Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, maintaining an active academic presence with office AH E237 and contact number (706) 667-4449.
His educational foundation includes:

- M.A. in English Language and Literature, General from University of New Hampshire (1998)
- B.A. in Philosophy from University of California, San Diego (1993)
Hoffman's research critically engages with American literature through philosophical frameworks including Deleuzian theory, materialist psychoanalysis, and posthumanism. His scholarship interrogates cultural production in Hollywood narratives, existential dimensions in Burroughs' work, and contemporary responses to climate crisis in British fiction. The sustained focus on 20th/21st century literary modernism and theoretical intersections with film studies and environmental humanities defines his methodological approach.
Publication trends reveal deepening interdisciplinary connections between literary criticism and philosophy, particularly through book reviews analyzing theoretical works on Deleuze and nonhuman ontology alongside original articles examining immanent life concepts and materialist desire structures in American cultural texts.
His recognition includes:
- PPIF award from Pamplin College (2023)
