Higher Education
Thomas W.
Howard
Saint Louis, Missouri
I am a PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis. I specialize in cognitive literary studies, specifically in nineteenth-century American literature, with additional interests in dystopian literature and naturalism. My MA thesis, "'I Was a Creature of Environment': Jamesian Habit in Jack London's The Iron Heel," examines the role of William James's theory of habits in London's character creation in his dystopian novel. My current research involves a fuller understanding of James's radical empiricism (along with connections to Alfred North Whitehead, Gilles Deleuze, and Bruno Latour) and how it fits into literary studies.
