Sean Weidman, Ph.D.

Dr. Sean Weidman is an energetic teacher-scholar-administrator who holds a Ph.D. in English from the Pennsylvania State University. 

Sean's scholarship orbits the early 20th century, around global Anglomodernisms, histories of anti/coloniality, and the politics of welcoming; he also dabbles in the digital humanities. 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 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.

At UWEC, Sean teaches in the Honors College and the English Department. He's taught across the gamut of English and writing studies, in modern/contemporary literatures (fiction, poetry, drama), critical theory, cultural studies, first-year and professional writing, and the digital humanities. 

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