Biography

Brian A. Bremen is an Associate Professor in the English department, specializing in American Literature, Modernism, the Digital Humanities, writers of the Harlem Renaissance, and Literary Theory. He is currently at work on a book that examines the ways in which contemporaneous religious and scientific thought interacted in the formation of Modern literature, tentatively called What Was Modernism (and Does It Still Matter)?

An avid surfer of the Internet since 1992, Bremen is presently archiving graphic, audio, and video material to aid in the instruction of large lecture sections of E316K: Masterworks in American Literature, and experimenting with ways in which to incorporate web-based instruction in large lecture classes. See it here.

Bremen has been the recipient of The Marilla D. Svinicki Burnt Orange Apple Award (The University of Texas at Austin, The Division of Instructional Innovation and Assessment: 2007), the Dads' Association Centennial Teaching Fellowship (The University of Texas at Austin: 2005), a Waggener Centennial Teaching Fellowship (The University of Texas at Austin: 2005), the W.

Sutherland Award for Teaching Excellence in Sophomore Literature (Department of English, The University of Texas at Austin: 2003), and the Texas Excellence Teaching Award for Professors in the College of Liberal Arts (The University of Texas at Austin: 2001).
