How It's Made

Sarah Brouillette teaches at Carleton University in Ottawa and is the author of four books, the latest of which is Underdevelopment and African Literature: Emerging Forms of Reading (Cambridge University Press, 2020). Brouillette’s interest in what she calls “term-setting structures”, the governance- and cultural-policy institutions that “prioritise and highlight certain forms of writing and not others” powers her work, which deals with subjects as apparently diverse as romance novels, “internet scammer” Caroline Calloway, postcolonial literature and the history of the printed book.
