Bio
Jeremy Braddock received his Ph.D. in English literature from the University of Pennsylvania. Before joining the department at Cornell, he was a member of the English faculty at Princeton and a faculty fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center. His research concerns the relationships among artists, institutions, and cultural intermediaries in the American interwar period, in particular those involving modernist and African American literary culture. His book-in-progress is a study of art collections, anthologies, and archives titled Collecting as Modernist Practice. He also has an interest in film studies and is co-editor of Directed by Allen Smithee (Minnesota 2001), a book that examines the politics of the directorial pseudonym in Hollywood.
