Queer Literature

Nathan Snaza is an English professor and director of the Bridge to Success program as well as an advisory board member of the Women Gender and Sexuality Studies program at UR.

He teaches a course called "Queer Literatures," which he discusses in the April 2020 issue of Discover Richmond Magazine, produced by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Snaza's work explores what it means to be human and how those ideas have been put to work in educational institutions, especially those that engage language, literacy, and literature. Drawing on work in the fields of posthumanism, new materialisms, queer and feminist theory, and critical ethnic studies, his work both critiques modern histories of schooling linked to humanism, and tries to imagine alternatives.
