The Poetry Collection’s 2024 Dr. John Bishop Memorial Visiting Scholar was Dipanjan Maitra.
Dr. Maitra is Assistant Professor of British Literature at Louisiana Tech University, USA. He was formerly a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology. He obtained his PhD in English from The State University of New York at Buffalo. His dissertation explores the role of press-cutting agencies in advancing the careers and interests of James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, and larger colonial institutions. His articles on James Joyce, genetic criticism, and modernist print culture have appeared in Modernism/modernity Print Plus, Variants, James Joyce Quarterly, Genetic Joyce Studies, Joyce Studies in Italy and other peer-reviewed journals and edited collections.
We invite you to enjoy his talk, “Joyce’s Press Clippings and Promotional Material at Buffalo.”
