Will Stroebel

Candidate statement

Will Stroebel is an Assistant Professor of Modern Greek and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan. His work focuses on modern Greek and Turkish literatures, border studies, migration, book history and material culture. His first monograph, Literature’s Refuge at the East-West Borderscape, is currently under review. In all these capacities, he aims to expand the audience and interlocutors of Modern Greek Studies, which he believes has much to offer the larger intellectual ecosystem of the humanities and social sciences. To this end, he feels humbled to serve the MGSA, which has always been like an extended family. As a relatively recent PhD student, he could potentially serve the graduate studies committee, or, given work in the field of book history, he could also stand as liaison to the library committee. Will considers it an honor to offer service and give back to the MGSA community.
