Elisha Schuett

Elisha is a PhD student in the English department focusing on critical literary studies. He received his MA at Georgia State University, where his thesis explored transnational perspectives of Gaiman's The Sandman. His studies center on examining the intersections of coloniality, animality, and secularity in comics and traditional literature. Elisha hopes to describe a poetics and/or aesthetics of resistance to these pillars of hegemonic modernity in comics and literature. Elisha currently works for FWY and the Willis Center for Writing. He lives with his fiancée, Asia (who is also a PhD student in UGA’s Theater and Film department), his dog, Pepper, and three lizards, Zoe the Iguana, Luckty the Bearded Dragon, and Gix the Gecko. In his (little) free time, he reads, plays video and tabletop games, and tries to balance a physical routine including yoga, weight-lifting, and basketball.
