Hello! My name is Sean Cashbaugh. My pronouns are he/him/his. I’m an interdisciplinary scholar of American Studies and Cultural Studies. My research interests include cultures of radicalism, political aesthetics, cultural theory, science fiction, and underground culture. In 2016, I completed my PhD in American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. I also received a Certification in the Graduate Portfolio Program in Cultural Studies from the Américo Paredes Center for Cultural Studies. My scholarship focuses on the ways individuals and collectives in the twentieth century have theorized radical political projects in their own languages and forms, as well as in the creative ways they’ve sought to realize them.

I am also an experienced composition teacher and draw from rhetorical as well as writing-across-the-curriculum pedagogies. I use topic-based courses to help students develop the critical thinking and writing skills they need to accomplish their academic and professional goals. I worked as a writing consultant at multiple university writing centers as well, developing instructional materials and tutoring students on a one-to-one basis in non-evaluative and non-directive environments.

I am currently appointed as a Postdoctoral Lecturer in the Princeton Writing Program at Princeton University.
