David Hawkes (professor of English)

David Hawkes (b 1964; Wales) is a Professor of English Literature at Arizona State University, Tempe, in the U.S. state of Arizona. He is the author of seven books and the editor of four. He has published over two hundred articles and reviews in such journals as The Nation, The New Criterion, the Times Literary Supplement,[1] Quillette, In These Times, Cabinet Magazine, Bad Subjects, the Journal of the History of Ideas, the Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics, Literature and Theology, Modern Philology, Renaissance Quarterly, Studies in English Literature, ELH and many other academic and popular publications. Hawkes' work addresses a wide range of subjects. In 2002 a lengthy correspondence in The Nation followed his critical review essay on Stephen J. Gould's final book.[2] In 2012 a similar controversy followed his critique of Noam Chomsky in the Times Literary Supplement. In 2012 a special issue of the journal Early Modern Culture was devoted to a round-table discussion of his anti-materialist literary theory.[3] Hawkes' work generally explores the links between economics, literature and philosophy from an anti-capitalist perspective. He specifically studies the cultural connections between usury and non-procreative sexuality or 'sodomy.'[4] In collaboration with the art historian Julia Friedman, Hawkes has recently published a series of articles on the aesthetic implications of Non-Fungible Tokens or "NFTs."

Education and academia

Hawkes attended Stanwell Comprehensive School near Cardiff, Wales. He won a College Scholarship to Oxford University (B.A. 1986), and later the Marjorie Hope Nicolson fellowship to Columbia University (M.A. 1988, M.Phil. 1990, Ph.D. 1992). At Oxford, Hawkes was a student of the left-wing literary critic Terry Eagleton, and an activist in the socialist-feminist group of scholars Oxford English Limited. At Columbia he worked with the Palestinian critic Edward Said, and contributed to various alternative and underground journals on the Lower East Side. Between 1991 and 2007 Hawkes was first assistant professor, then associate professor of English Literature at Lehigh University, and he has been a full professor of English Literature at Arizona State University since 2007. He has held visiting appointments at Jadavpur University, Kolkata (2008), Boğaziçi University, Istanbul (2010) and North China Electric Power University, Beijing (2015, 2016, 2018). He received a year-long fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities at the Folger Shakespeare Library (2002–03), and the William Ringler Fellowship at the Huntington Library (2006).
