Biography
My name is Cornel Bogle, and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at 丁香园AV. I teach and research in the areas of Caribbean, Black, and diasporic literatures and cultures, as well as creative writing. I earned my BA in Literatures in English from the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus in Jamaica, and my MA and PhD in English from the University of Alberta. My scholarly work includes essays, interviews, book chapters, and articles on Caribbean, Caribbean Canadian, and Black diasporic expressive cultures, creative writing studies, masculinities, and life writing, published in various journals and edited collections.
As a creative writer, I utilize techniques such as erasure, found poetry, and lyric poetry to explore personal and collective archives, bringing forth lyrical subjects and voices that reflect the experiences of Caribbean peoples across different times and places in the diaspora. I have published and performed poetry in various venues across Canada and the Caribbean. I am the co-editor, alongside Michael A. Bucknor, of 鈥淩ecognition and Recovery of Caribbean Canadian Cultural Production,鈥� a special issue of Canada and Beyond: A Journal of Canadian Literary and Cultural Studies, and serve as the Book Reviews Editor for the Journal of West Indian Literature.
