Dr Niall Munro

Dr Niall Munro is a Senior Lecturer in American Literature at Oxford Brookes and Director of the Oxford Brookes Poetry Centre, where he runs the Centre's poetry pamphlet press, ignitionpress. His research examines the disruptive effects of cultural memory, especially after war, and his current book project focusses on the ways in which modernist writers 'remembered' the American Civil War. His publications include Hart Crane's Queer Modernist Aesthetic (Palgrave, 2015), and the co-edited volume (with Prof Kate McLoughlin and Dr Catherine Gilbert) On Commemoration: Global Perspectives upon Remembering War (Peter Lang, 2020), which emerged from a previous collaboration with TORCH, Post-War: Commemoration, Reconstruction, Reconciliation.
