- Bio:
Alick McCallum is a second year PhD student in the English Department at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. He researches how, through the Long Eighteenth Century, Black revolutionaries, orators, fugitives, and writers (particularly Robert Wedderburn) invested epistemologies, cosmologies, and ecological relations of the plantation and the Marooned mountains into an Anglophone Radical vernacular—and how, in doing so, they made modes of counter-colonial, anti-racist, anti-Capitalist solidarity imaginable to multi-ethnic insurgent populations of colonial era’s Atlantic world. He has an MA in Literature and Cultural Studies from University of California, San Diego, and an MFA in Poetry from Colorado State University.
