Jason Groves

Jason Groves is Assistant Professor of Germanics at the University of Washington, where he works on nineteenth-century German literature, the environmental humanities, and the geological turn within cultural studies. He holds degrees from UCSD (B.A.), Johns Hopkins (M.A.), and Yale (Ph.D), and he has held teaching positions at Rutgers, San Francisco State University, and Foothill Community College, as well as fellowships at the Exploratorium Museum and with the National Endowment for the Humanities.

His inquiry into the role of the literary arts in imagining our identity as geological agents also takes shape with publics outside of the academy, including the Open Humanities Press-supported blog Feedback that he co-founded in 2013; fellowship, talks, and publications at the Exploratorium Museum; and recent public conversations around environmental justice at the Seattle Rep and the Henry Art Gallery.
