Professional Bio

Thomas Bryant is a graduate student, writing instructor, and theatre director. His current project examines how late nineteenth-century American authors read animal culture and interspecies violence as moments of disruption for colonial agriculture. This research incorporates transpacific writing on Australia and Japan as key parts of American writer’s ecological self perception.

His playwriting work has been produced by Knox College, The University of Kentucky, and his company, Weird in Public Productions. At Penn State, he teaches English 15: Introduction to Writing and Rhetoric and English 105: American culture and folklife.
