Ery Shin
Assistant Professor
Bio
Ery Shin specializes in modernism and avant-garde practices, with leading interests in gender-sexuality studies, continental philosophy, and WWII. Her first book, Gertrude Stein’s Surrealist Years (University of Alabama Press, 2020), traces Stein’s later experimental gestures and their philosophical implications within Hitler’s Europe. Her current monograph project ponders how the art of early modern blasphemy can illuminate present-day debates on suicide. Separate essays, meanwhile, have appeared in Modern Language Studies, Texas Studies in Literature and Language, and the Journal of Modern Literature. Astra House has released her debut novel, Spring on the Peninsula, this April.
