Dr. Roger Seamon is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of British Columbia, where he taught in the department of English and ArtsOne, a first year humanities program, which he also directed. Since his retirement in 2002, he has taught Literary Theory and English 2902 at UNB. He has also taught in Bhutan as part of UNB's "Bhutan Project." His main research interests are literary theory, the philosophy of art, and the history of academic criticism. A recent concern, based on earlier work in the history of criticism, is a critique of the current effort to base literary study on evolutionary theory. Dr. Seamon's current project is a brief historical account of literary study in the modern research university.
