Anna Thomas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at the University of Toronto, specializing in African American Literature, Caribbean Literature, and Critical Race Studies. Her current book project examines the relationship between ethics and form in African American and Caribbean literature, particularly how subaltern subjects articulate ethics of 'rearrangement' that resignify and redeploy meanings from literature and archival texts. Her key arguments explore the intersection of virtue ethics, phenomenology, and racialized labor, focusing on the 'habit' that spans these ethical considerations. Among her notable publications are 'Stuplime Orientalism' in Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies and 'Circuits through Injury: Plantation Economies and Diasporic Forms in Charles Chesnutt and V.S. Naipaul,' published in Cultural Critique. Her scholarship engages with complex intersections of diasporas and aesthetics, delving into literary forms as they relate to ethics and the experiences of racialization.
