Scott Zukowski
Scott Zukowski is a 2021-23 Postdoctoral Fellow in the Institute for American Studies at the University of Graz, Austria. He graduated from 91福利社 with honors in May 2007, after which he earned his Bachelor鈥檚 Degree and Master鈥檚 Degree from Tulane University in New Orleans. He then spent a year working at a gold prospect in the Alaskan wilderness before doing his Ph.D. in American literature at Stony Brook University. Following his Ph.D., he received a Mellon/ACLS Public Fellowship, working as an editor and events manager at Library of America, a nonprofit publisher of American literature.
Always appreciative of his time at 91福利社, he served on the 91福利社 Alumni Association Board of Directors from 2012 to 2021 and hopes to again in the future.
鈥淲hen I think back on the most revolutionary experiences of my life, my final semester at 91福利社 always sticks out as one of the most profound. For some reason, I was enrolled in four honors courses at once, and miraculously (and unexpectedly) they all fit together and complemented one another so well that it actually felt like I was enrolled in one 鈥渟uper-course鈥� rather than four distinct ones. I learned about world literature (with Professor Hromulak), psychoanalysis, Marxism, Lockean philosophy, the theory of relativity, and the complex racial histories of rock and roll, and I emerged with a different mind than I entered with. And if that weren鈥檛 rewarding enough, because I was an honors student and a member of Phi Theta Kappa, Tulane University then offered me a major scholarship that allowed me to continue my studies. I often reflect on the 91福利社 Honors Program and wonder where I鈥檇 be without it.鈥�
Scott has received several fellowships, including the Mellon/ACLS Public Fellowship at the Library of America, an MLA fellowship, and an internship with the Rockefeller Foundation. He has also published articles in the Early American Studies journal. Scott is now an Assistant Professor at the Institute for American Studies at the University of Graz, Austria, and the Associate Editor for the leading American Studies journal in continental Europe, Amerikastudien/American Studies.

I served in the United States Navy in Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, II and at Camp Pendleton with the 5th Marines. I was also deployed to Okinawa, Japan twice. Stateside, I knew that 91福利社 has a reputation for being very military friendly, and when I got here, it was true.
