معرفی
Wassim R. Rustom serves as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow at the Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages, University of Oslo, with concurrent visiting appointments at Bard College's Literature Program (October 2023–May 2024) and the University of Pennsylvania's Department of English (June 2024–September 2025).
His academic foundation includes a PhD in English Literature from the University of Bergen, where his dissertation "Towards a Literary Poetics of Use: Romantic, Aesthetic, Modernist" established his interdisciplinary approach across literary periods.
Rustom's research critically examines temporal structures of labor in modernist texts, analyzing how British and American writers use experimental chronology to interrogate socio-historical transformations in work practices. His scholarship bridges Romantic philosophy, aesthetic theory, and modernist innovation to explore the writer's occupational identity within evolving labor economies.
His 2023 publications reveal consistent thematic threads: temporal cognition in Wordsworth's poetry and cross-period investigations of literary "use," demonstrating methodological rigor in connecting poetics to socio-labor frameworks.
His scientific recognition features:
- Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship (Grant 101105988)
He currently directs the "TimeWorks | Modernist Occupations" project funded by the Marie Curie Actions grant, investigating time-consciousness in literary imagination. No student supervision details are publicly documented. The project operates without dedicated laboratory infrastructure but leverages institutional resources at partner universities.
