Biographie

Michael Boyden est professeur de littérature américaine à l'Université de Fribourg depuis 2025. Avant sa nomination à Fribourg, il était professeur associé de littérature américaine à l'Université d'Uppsala et professeur titulaire de littérature et culture anglaises et américaines à l'Université Radboud de Nimègue. Boyden a obtenu son doctorat en 2006 à l'Université de Louvain avec une thèse portant sur la sociologie de l'histoire littéraire américaine. Il a été boursier Fulbright à Harvard et chercheur invité au Dartmouth College et à Brigham Young University. Bien que formé en études américaines et en théorie littéraire, Boyden s'intéresse à des thèmes de recherche variés : il a travaillé sur des sujets allant du translinguisme littéraire aux littératures migratoires, en passant par les cultures révolutionnaires et, ces dernières années, sur les sciences humaines environnementales et de la santé.
