Invited Speakers and Powell Lecturer Biographies
Dr. Danielle Fuller
Danielle Fuller is Director, Regional Centre for Canadian Studies, and Senior Lecturer in the Department of American & Canadian Studies at the University of Birmingham, UK. Her chief research areas are contemporary Canadian writing, particularly Atlantic Canadian literary culture; the politics of cultural production in Canada, and reading communities in present-day North America and the UK. She is also committed to interdisciplinary research methods that combine empirical and textual strategies. She has published in all of these areas and her first book, Writing the Everyday: Women’s Textual Communities in Atlantic Canada (McGill-Queen’s UP, 2004) won the 2005 Gabrielle Roy Prize. She is currently working with DeNel Rehberg Sedo (Communications, Mount Saint Vincent University, Canada) on a co-authored monograph, Beyond the Book: The Meanings of Shared Reading in the Twenty-First Century, which draws upon an interdisciplinary research project about contemporary reading cultures in UK, USA and Canada (www.beyondthebookproject.org) funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (UK).

Dr. Kate Mondloch
Kate Mondloch is an Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art and Theory at the University of Oregon, where she specializes in art and media since 1960. She also serves on the Executive Committee of the University’s new Cinema Studies program and is a member of the Digital Scholars initiative. Her research interests are wide-ranging and include postwar sculpture, experimental film and video, digital culture, contemporary craft and feminism, as well as theories of spectatorship and subjectivity. She is the author of Screens: Viewing Media Installation Art(University of Minnesota Press, 2010) and has published in a variety of journals, including Art Journal, Afterimage, Eikon, Leonardo, and Vectors. She is currently working on a new book about museum-based media art and feminist theory from 1970 to the present.

Dr. Craig Monk
Dr. Monk’s research traces the connections between modern American literature and twentieth-century European culture. From 2001 to 2004, he held a Standard Research Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Writing the Lost Generation: Expatriate Autobiography and American Modernism, the resulting monograph published in 2008 by the University of Iowa Press, examines the ways in which expatriate writers from the United States used life narrative to frame their achievement. He was assisted in this project by an Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship at the University of Texas and an Everett Helm Fellowship at Indiana University. Much of the research was completed as an Honorary Research Associate at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University in Halifax. He is also interested in the history of “little magazine” publishing by Americans abroad, the topic of his graduate research while a Rothermere Fellow at Linacre College, Oxford University. His work on periodical literature has been published in American Periodicals, the Canadian Journal of Irish Studies, the Canadian Review of American Studies, History of Photography, Journal of Modern Literature, Miscelanea, Mosaic, as well as numerous edited volumes on modernism. He serves currently as Co-Editor of American Periodicals, published at the Ohio State University. His planned history of expatriate American magazines is frequently interrupted.

Dr. Monk is now at work on a project that connects the reading of photography and autobiography with remembrances of the crimes of Jack the Ripper, as well as being professor of English and Associate Dean, Arts & Science, University of Lethbridge.
