Professor Leitch's teaching focuses on
criticism and theory, cultural
studies, contemporary U.S. culture,
theories of postmodernity and
globalization, plus poetry and
comparative poetics. His
interdisciplinary interests include
contemporary Continental philosophy
particularly French poststructuralism
and recent visual culture
especially painting. In his advanced
courses, students typically write
critical reviews and argumentative
essays, and they make oral
presentations and field questions based
on critiques of course texts:
it is a matter of students going beyond
summarizing ideas in order to
theorize solutions and invent new
knowledge.
