Nathan Brown's research and teaching focus on modernist and contemporary poetry and poetics, science/technology studies, and critical theory. His current book project, The Materials - Technoscience and Poetry at the Limits of Fabrication, examines concepts of form and practices of fabrication in nanoscale materials science and contemporary experimental poetry, updating the context in which poetry might be considered a form of building. He also teaches courses in Science & Technology Studies and the Designated Emphasis Program in Critical Theory.
