Biography
Duncan Brown is professor of English at the Centre for Multilingualism and Diversities Research at the University of the Western Cape. He has widely published in South African literary and cultural studies.
'In various registers, Duncan Brown meditates on fiction, non-fiction, orature, beliefs and old classics. His aim, ultimately, is not only to reframe academic approaches but to encourage modes of writing that come from the heart: writing that might help us claim new forms of agency in years to come.'
–– Rita Barnard, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Pennsylvania
