Dr. Aaron Rosenfeld regularly teaches classes in modern British and American poetry, literary theory and criticism, and freshman composition. He also teaches literature surveys as part of the core curriculum and classes in the modern and contemporary world as part of Iona University’s Honors Program. His current teaching interests include 20thc. British and American poetry; science fiction; cosmopolitanism, globalization, and national identity; and composition.
Dr. Rosenfeld’s recent essays have appeared in Pedagogy; Literary Imagination; the ADE/ADFL Bulletin’s special issue dedicated to exploring globalization and literary study; and in Teaching the Literature Survey Course: New Strategies for College Faculty [WVU Press, 2018]. His book, Character and Dystopia: The Last Men (Routledge, 2020) explores how dystopias rely on plot conventions from nineteenth century forms like the Bildungsroman to express a reactionary form of humanism. He is currently working on a book about post-apocalyptic literature.
