Daryl Maude received a BA in Japanese from the University of Leeds, an MA in Japanese Literature from the University of London, and a PhD in Modern Japanese Literature and Critical Theory from the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to coming to CU Boulder, he was a postdoctoral associate at Duke University, and from 2011 to 2013 he was a research student at Waseda University as the recipient of a Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) scholarship.
Daryl鈥檚 research focuses on modern and contemporary literature (prose, poetry, and criticism) written in Japanese. His current project examines how, during the Cold War and into the present day, the future has been imagined by queer people, Okinawans, sex workers, and others marginalized by mainstream Japanese society. Amid the triangular relationship between mainland Japan, Okinawa, and the USA, his research looks at partial, fragmentary, and messy visions of the future in literature and media, and asks how, amidst violence, creators make work that imagine otherwise.
