Louise Kane is Assistant Professor of Global Modernisms. Her research is interdisciplinary and comparative in its focus on the literary, historical, and sociological contexts of transnational modernism, particularly in relation to little magazines and periodicals. Her work has been published in The Journal of Modern Periodical Studies, Literature and History, and The Space Between: Literature and Culture 1914-1945. Recent publications explore representations of shell shock and trauma in WWI-era medical journals and reading world cinema periodicals through digital humanities approaches. She is Director of the externally-funded “Literature the Consoler: Modernism, Medical Humanities, and Mental Health” research project and an Editor of The Journal of Wyndham Lewis Studies. Dr. Kane teaches courses in world literature, literary modernism, modern Asian fiction, literature of the Global South, and literary theory. She is interested in supervising students working on lesser-studied modernist figures and movements, such as Sui Sin Far, Borges’s ultraísmo, or Japanese dōjinshi.
