Anita Starosta is the author of Form and Instability: Eastern Europe, Literature, Post-Imperial Difference (forthcoming from the Northwestern University Press), as well as articles in European and US publications (such as Intermédialités, Angelaki, and boundary 2) on translation, aesthetics, and epistemology all tested in the study of primarily

Eastern European writings. With Wlad Godzich, she co-edited the volume Second-Hand Europe, in which she interviewed Yuri Andrukhovych. Her next project considers translation as a lens on the contemporary global condition, examined through visual and print cultures, including problems of human rights and the situation of post-socialist Eastern Europe.

With a doctorate in History of Consciousness from the University of California, Santa Cruz, Dr. Starosta teaches 20th and 21st century literature, cultural theory, and visual culture at the Rhode Island School of Design; serves as an editor at boundary 2; and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women at Brown University.
