Griffin Brunk
Broadly speaking, I am an historian of slavery and coerced labor from Ratification to the modern prison system. In my patchwork past, I have been a teacher on Chicago’s southside, a private investigator, a paralegal at the Hillsborough Inquests, and a researcher for immigration & asylum claimants. I am also a lawyer (though non-barred), working as a research fellow for a capital appeals non-profit.

My interests are in speculative literature, Black Studies, and US History. I have both an MFA in Writing and a Master’s in African American Studies. I have taught creative writing, English, and Black History at the university level and worked as a writing consultant at Columbia University for several years prior to becoming a Graduate Writing Consultant at UC Berkeley. I am a curious reader and am comfortable reviewing any piece of writing or brainstorming ideas to help you move forward in your writing.

After receiving a B.A. in English from Reed College, I worked in the nonprofit sector for several years. Since coming to Berkeley, I have taught writing courses both on campus and at San Quentin State Prison through the Prison University Project. Currently, I am at work on a dissertation that focuses on literary and cinematic genre in the aftermath of austerity in several African countries, including Morocco, where I conducted research on a Fulbright grant.

Before my time at Berkeley, I graduated from Harvard University, where I worked at the undergraduate Writing Center, with a bachelor’s degree in Literature and a minor in Astrophysics. My dissertation examines the role of German and British Romanticist and Modernist literary forms in the formation of urban sexual subcultures in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At Berkeley, I have taught undergraduate composition courses on drag and on the representation of sex in literary and visual media. My multidisciplinary background has given me an interest in academic writing across different fields, and I also maintain a newsletter popularizing my humanities writing.
