MLitt in Modern and Contemporary Literatures and Culture

Kiron researches modern and contemporary literatures, and has a background in hemispheric American Studies. He is especially interested in encyclopaedism, totality, epistemology, and literary aesthetics; his work draws particularly, but not exclusively, on 20^th and 21^st Century British, Irish, North American, Caribbean, and Latinx fiction.

Kiron's recent monograph, Encyclopaedism and Totality in Contemporary Fiction (Bloomsbury, 2025), focuses on the relationship between literature and totality, particularly as it pertains to questions of epistemic violence and injustice, and looks particularly at the work of Don DeLillo, Leslie Marmon Silko, Roberto Bolaño, Karen Tei Yamashita, and Olga Tokarczuk. Kiron's previous publications include two special issues on James Joyce, Encyclopedia Joyce (James Joyce Quarterly 55.1-2; with James Blackwell Phelan) and James Joyce's Ulysses at 100 (Textual Practice 26.2; with E. Paige Miller), and one edited collection, Don DeLillo: Contemporary Critical Perspectives (Bloomsbury; with Katie Da Cunha Lewin).

Since July 2025, Kiron has been co-editor-in-chief of C21 Literature: Journal of 21st-century Writings with Katie Da Cunha Lewin.

Kiron's future research projects look to global modernist studies and plantation studies.
