Jeremy Chow serves as Associate Professor of English and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Chair in the Humanities at Bucknell University. His interdisciplinary scholarship bridges eighteenth-century literary studies with contemporary critical frameworks in queer theory, environmental humanities, and decolonial thought, establishing him as a leading voice in reimagining historical narratives through intersectional lenses. Chow's academic foundation includes: Ph.D. in English from the University of California, Santa Barbara M.A. in English from Claremont Graduate University B.A. in English from Boston College His research interrogates the convergence of queerness, ecology, and anticolonial resistance in the long eighteenth century, revealing how marginalized identities and non-human entities subvert colonial and heteronormative structures. Through innovative analyses of water, animality, and racial formations, Chow challenges anthropocentric paradigms while centering decolonial perspectives in environmental discourse. His methodology synthesizes archival research with theoretical interventions from queer ecology, critical race studies, and posthumanism to expose suppressed narratives of resistance. Chow's publication trajectory demonstrates a progressive deepening of engagement with non-human agency and anticolonial thought, evolving from foundational work on queer ecologies of water toward explicit examinations of insect-based resistance, equine embodiment, and botanical erotics. This arc reflects a sustained commitment to dismantling binaries between nature/culture, human/animal, and colonizer/colonized across historical and contemporary contexts. Chow's scholarly impact has been recognized through the prestigious NEH Chair in the Humanities appointment. NEH Chair in the Humanities As ENLS faculty liaison for the Arts Merit Scholarship program, Chow cultivates emerging artistic talent while advancing his sabbatical research (2025-2026) on animality and anticolonialism. This project promises to further disrupt conventional boundaries between posthumanism and liberation struggles through rigorous historical analysis of non-Western epistemologies.
