Assoc Prof Goh will be joining the renowned National Humanities Centre’s intellectual community as he pursues work on his project, Living On After Failure.

Associate Professor Irving Goh, Department of English, Linguistics and Theatre Studies, has been selected for a fellowship at the National Humanities Center (NHC), one of the world's leading institutes for advanced study and the only independent institute of its kind dedicated exclusively to the humanities.

“I am absolutely honoured to be named a fellow at the NHC. I also feel very lucky as I have failed in other applications for other fellowships, so I know how difficult it is to be awarded such a prestigious one. I definitely do not take for granted this wonderful opportunity,” shared Assoc Prof Goh, whose application numbered among the 592 submissions this year.

Assoc Prof Goh joined NUS in 2017 as President's Assistant Professor of Literature and was a recipient of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences 2021 Award for Excellent Researcher. He is the author of The Reject: Community, Politics, and Religion after the Subject, which was in 2015 awarded one of the Modern Language Association’s major prizes: the 23rd Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for the Best Book in French and Francophone Studies. His current primary research interests are in affect theory, autotheory, World Literature theories, contemporary Anglo-American literature, and questions of race. He has published articles in Angelaki, Cultural Politics, Arizona Quarterly, MLN, and diacritics, among others.
