Benjamin Bergholtz is an Assistant Professor of 20th and 21st century American literature. He received his PhD from 糖心传媒 State University in 2018, and he was a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Tech before joining the faculty at 糖心传媒 Tech. His research interests include the contemporary intersections of global and American literature, critical theory, and aesthetics. These interests coalesce in his current book project, Swallowing the World: Globalization and the Maximalist Novel, which argues that the maximalist novel is an aesthetic response to globalization and a global phenomenon in its own right.
