Mark Bracher‘s current teaching and research center on the question of how literary study in particular and education in general can help students become more fulfilled individuals and more productive and socially responsible members of society. More specifically, by drawing on psychoanalytic theory, social psychology, and cognitive science, Bracher works to formulate educational and other cultural strategies for reducing social injustice, including not only racism, colonialism, sexism, and homophobia but also the obscene and growing disparities in wealth and well being within both American society and the world at large. He is a Professor of English at Kent State University.
