THE NATIONAL COALITION OF INDEPENDENT SCHOLARS

Joselyn Michelle Almeida specializes on the transcultural archive of British and Luso-Hispanic cultures and the relation of culture to global capitalism, slavery, and abolition. Her monograph, Reimagining the Transatlantic, 1780-1890 (2011), theorizes the pan-Atlantic as a region of political, material, and cultural interrelations between Britain, Africa, and the non-Anglophone Americas. Almeida is also the editor of Romanticism and the Anglo-Hispanic Imaginary (2010).  Almeida’s essays can be found in journals such as English Literary History, Bulletin for Hispanic and Portuguese Historical Studies, Atlantic Studies, The Byron Journal, Studies in Romanticism, European Romantic Review, The Wordsworth Circle, and various essay collections. Almeida is also the author of a poetry collection in Spanish, Condiciones para el vuelo [Conditions for flight] (2019). She has been the recipient of grants such as Fulbright, National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Instittute, and a Mellon Sawyer grant (co-PI). Almeida has taught Romanticism and literature of the Age of Revolutions, Atlantic Studies, Classical Reception Studies, Latino literature, British Literature Surveys, and College Writing as Associate Professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Assistant Professor at Long Island University Brooklyn, and Visiting Professor at Boston University, CGS.
