- Biography
Pronouns: He/Him
Rob is a second-year MA student of Literary Studies. His academic work focuses on the existential, psychological, and philosophical dimensions of modernist literature especially. He is passionate about tutoring other students by helping them to look at their work through new critical angles. Furthermore, he hopes to help others to more deeply appreciate the beauty of language and the symbolic import of writing, especially through the idea that composition is not merely an academic endeavor and only a means to an end, but also an artistic and aesthetic project in its own right. He is more than comfortable helping others with academic and creative work alike, as he is a published and self-published poet, songwriter, and recording artist under the pseudonym "Robert Wakefield" - his work can be found anywhere online where music is sold or streamed.
