Michael Who?

Ullyot. (“UH-lee-yit.”) I’m an Associate Professor of English at the University of Calgary.

My teaching and research specialties are early modern literature and Shakespeare studies. Recent work includes articles and chapters on Shakespeare and virtual reality; on algorithms for detecting rhetorical figures; on a quantitative model of the English-language sonnet; and on archives and artificial intelligence. In 2022 Oxford University Press published my book, The Rhetoric of Exemplarity in Early Modern England. For full details see my ORCID iD iconOrcid record.

I earned my Ph.D. in English from the University of Toronto in 2005, and my M.Phil. in Medieval and Renaissance Studies from the University of Cambridge in 2000. (Clare College, if that matters to you.)

I am now accepting graduate students (MA and PhD in English, or MSc and PhD in Computational Media Design). See here for details about the Department of English program, and here for details about the Computational Media Design program.
