Dr. Sophie Seita (She/Her/Hers)
Assistant Professor, College of Arts and Sciences
I’m an interdisciplinary researcher, artist, writer, and translator. My text- and archive-based practice spans poetry, performance, lecture-performance, video, translation, and often multimedia and queer-feminist collaborations. I regularly give talks about my academic and artistic practice and work internationally on various creative projects. Before coming to BU, I held a three-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (JRF) at Queens’ College, University of Cambridge. My research focuses on twentieth- and twenty-first-century Anglophone avant-garde poetry, art, and poetics; artistic communities; print culture and periodical studies; contemporary experiments with performance writing, feminist and queer performance art, artistic collaborations, mixed media art, and practice-based research. I also have an interest in experimental translations (across languages and media), multilingualism, creative non-fiction/poetic essays, video essays, and works that fall through generic cracks.
