Austin Long

Austin Long is a fifth-year PhD candidate in the English Department at the University of Toronto. He was born and raised in rural Ontario, and this experience inspires his research into working-class literature, provincial voices, and the role these texts and voices play in advocating for improved welfare states in the twentieth century. His interests include other eras of literature, notably the eighteenth century. His research has been supported by funding from SSHRC, including the Michael Smith Foreign Study Award for a term at Oxford.
