Luke Jackmauh

Luke Jackmauh is trained as a Slav[ic]ist, but hopes to draw from diverse languages and adjacent disciplines, especially linguistics and philosophy of language, in his scholarship. He enjoys reflecting on contemporary literature's engagement with language ideologies, on the role of grammar in aesthetic expression, as well as exploring the bounds and contours of language's ability to represent mental and spiritual states. He has good command of Russian, French, and German, and is currently refining his Polish, Turkish, and Persian. Luke earned his BA in Slavic Languages and Literatures from Harvard College in 2019, after which he received a year-long travel fellowship for creative pursuits in Hungary.
