Professor Spencer Tricker specializes in American literature of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While this literature has traditionally been studied in view of transatlantic cultural contexts, Professor Tricker鈥檚 work emphasizes transpacific connections among the Americas, East and Southeast Asia, and Oceania. His manuscript-in-progress,听Imminent Communities: Liberal Cosmopolitanism and Empire in Transpacific Literature, studies the uses and abuses of cosmopolitan rhetoric and feeling in the work of writers and public figures from the United States, Canada, the Philippines, and Hawai鈥榠. He currently teaches a seminar called 鈥淭ranspacific Crossings in Nineteenth-Century American Literature鈥 and is developing another one that will explore comparative conceptions of race in nineteenth-century America, which is too often understood in terms of a simple Black/White racial binary. Other courses include a historical survey of American literature from the mid-eighteenth through early twentieth centuries and a course on the theme of 鈥渄ivided loyalties鈥 in literature and popular culture.
