Jesse Swan is a Professor of English at the University of Northern Iowa, Chair of the University Faculty and a reluctant megalomaniac.

His teaching and scholarship interests involve many areas, variously conceptualized. In most of his thinking, he's concerned with historiographical, ontological, and politico-cultural exigencies effecting knowledge, especially knowledge borne of literacy.
