-
Charly Verstraet's research and teaching interests include Caribbean and Indian Ocean Studies, Environmental Studies, Graphic Novels, Soccer and Politics, and Translation. His co-translation of award-winning Martinican writer Patrick Chamoiseau's Crusoe Footprint (UVA Press, 2022) was a finalist for the 2023 French-猫咪社区app Translation Prize. He is currently working on two book projects: the first is a monograph on the representations of the shoreline in Caribbean literature, painting, and photography; the second is a co-edited volume on graphic narratives of resistance in bande dessin茅e.聽He is a founding member of the Kwazman Vwa collective.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing and watching soccer, biking, gardening, and cooking French/Mediterranean cuisine!
