Bryan Sinche |

Bryan Sinche graduated from the University of Michigan (B.A.) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (M.A., Ph.D.). A former public school teacher in Michigan, Massachusetts, and North Carolina, Sinche completed his graduate training in American literature and American studies. At present he is writing a book tentatively titled Sailors, Slaves and Savages: Contests for Citizenship in the Maritime World. In his book, he explores the fraught concept of national belonging in antebellum writings about the sea and sailors. This wide-ranging work treats narratives by former sailors like Herman Melville and Richard Henry Dana, former slaves like Frederick Douglass, and concerned reformers like Hartford’s own Lydia H. Sigourney.
In addition to his research on antebellum American literature, Dr. Sinche teaches and researches nineteenth-century African-American literature. He has published articles on William Wells Brown, Hannah Crafts, and Frederick Douglass and has authored book reviews on various aspects of African American literature and culture. |
