Rasheed Tazudeen is a Senior Lecturer in English focusing on the intersections of ecology, race, and sound in 20th and 21st-century literature and music. His upcoming book, Modernism’s Inhuman Worlds, explores the ecological precarity and species indeterminacy in modern and contemporary literatures. Tazudeen theorizes that modernist ecologies emerge from the enigma of inhuman existence and engage with historical material traces of imperialism and genocide. His current project, Musicked Earth: Decolonial Sound Ecology, examines the entwined dynamics of ecology and sound in diasporic literature and music, particularly within the Black Atlantic and Indian Ocean contexts. He has co-led initiatives aimed at antiracist pedagogy and developed research methodologies centering Indigenous knowledge, aiming to amplify marginalized voices in academia.
