Michael J.
Blouin is an Assistant Professor in English and the Humanities at Milligan
College. His work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals including Extrapolation and The Journal of American Studies, among others. His monograph, Japan and the Cosmopolitan Gothic: Specters
of Modernity (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013), analyzes the depictions of Japan
as a supernatural entity in American literature and film. He also recently led a
successful effort to launch an Honors Program at Milligan College, a program
that he currently co-directs.
Background with NeMLA:
I have participated in the NeMLA annual
conferences for the past five years. I have chaired a number of panels on
topics ranging from Nuclear Criticism in the United States to Charles Brockden
Brown. My goal for serving on the Board of Directors is to continue to
strengthen the organization. From working the registration table to serving on
the Book Award Committee to fielding question/concerns following a conference,
I am willing and eager to assist in any capacity. While I look forward to
learning from the diverse members of the Board, I believe that my experiences
as a chairperson at the conference as well as the designer/co-director of
Milligan’s Honors Program positions me well to work on behalf of the
organization. Thank you for your consideration.
