    Expertise

    Anne Dwyer is a scholar of comparative literature who has published on literary treatments of the multiethnic Romanov and Habsburg empires; biography and autobiography; and the history of critical theory. She is writing a book on Viktor Shklovsky (one of the founders of Russian Formalism and of literary theory), his long Soviet afterlife, and his resonance today.

    Dwyer is also engaged in the study of international and global education, especially as they intersect with matters of diversity, equity, and inclusion on U.S. campuses.
