Wayne State College (402) 375-7394
William Slaymaker
World Literature, Philosophy
William
Slaymaker grew up in Indiana and Michigan where he received
his undergraduate education (Western Michigan, English & German, 1968) and gradute degrees (Indiana Univ., Comparative
Literature, Ph.D., 1975). He has taught a wide range of humanistic
disciplines from German language and literature to Literary
Theory and Philosophy. As a Comparatist he is interested in
the intersections of literature and philosophy, and he likes
to teach world literature and world philosophy. Most recently,
he has been teaching and researching nature and environmental
writers.
Slaymaker has published over a dozen articles on literature, literary theory and philosophy. His recent publication in the journal PMLA (Jan., 2001), demonstrates his interests in African literature and "ecocriticism." Much of his interest in Asia and Africa are linked to NEH Institutes he has attended and to his participation in world conferences that focus on cultures and literatures outside the U.S.
Slaymaker has taught in a variety of institutions in Indiana, Michigan and Kentucky prior to coming to Wayne State College in 1989.
Events for Fall 2013 will be posted in late August!
