Sean Weidman, Ph.D.

Dr. Sean Weidman is an energetic teacher-scholar and advisor-administrator with a Ph.D. in English from the Pennsylvania State University. At UWEC, he serves as an assistant director of the Cosby Honors College and the university's Fellowships Advisor. 

Sean's scholarship orbits the early 20th century, around global Anglomodernisms, histories of anti/coloniality, and the politics of welcoming. Some of his essays on literary modernism have appeared in English Literary History, Modernism/modernity, Twentieth-Century Literature, and Journal of Modern Literature, and you can find his digital modernist research in several edited collections and venues like Digital Humanities Quarterly and Digital Scholarship in the Humanities. His current book project tracks hospitality’s circulation and influence across the violent fractures of fin-de-siècle modernity—as political discourse, social form, anti/colonial history, and Anglomodernist literary culture.

Sean primarily teaches cultural studies and critical theory in UWEC's Honors College, but he's also taught across the gamut of English studies, including myriad courses in literature and literary theory, rhetoric and writing, and the digital humanities.

He’s fond of autumn rain, strong coffee, and cozy sweaters.
