Centre for Caribbean Studies
2023 - 2024
Andrew Young selected as the 2023-2024 Senior Doctoral Fellow in Caribbean Studies.
Andrew Young is a PhD candidate in the Centre for Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto. His dissertation is a study of Haitian literature written to achieve diplomatic recognition from Europe and the United States, from 1797 to 1859. By reading Haitian writings, both literary and polemical, as political philosophy, he aims to uncover Haitian contributions to our understandings of sovereignty, international law, and revolution.
Congratulations, Andrew!
