UT AMS ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK!

Dr. Gavin Benke

A little update on what Gavin is up to post AMS at UT: “I'm a senior lecturer in the College of Arts and Sciences Writing Program at Boston University. I've also served as a steward for BU's non-TT faculty union (and am generally an active union member). In terms of research/writing: In 2018, I published a book based on my dissertation. This winter, I have a history of capitalism supplemental textbook coming out. Otherwise, I've been doing the usual book reviews, op-eds, articles, etc. (and I was on Vice TV talking about Enron last fall). Overall, Boston is great and things are going well. Now that the pandemic is subsiding a little bit here, I'm easing my way back into playing and jazz jams, which has been really nice.”
