Ty Buckman

Senior Fellow

Director and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture

Ty Buckman served four years as Provost and Professor of English at Mary Baldwin University in Staunton, Virginia prior to joining the Advanced Studies in Culture Foundation. Earlier, he was Vice President for Strategic Initiatives and Associate Provost at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, where he also spent eighteen years as an English professor. His recent scholarship focuses on the peculiar circumstances of private institutions of higher education in America, but he has an abiding research and teaching interest in the early canon of British literature—especially the works of Edmund Spenser and John Milton—and the epic tradition. Buckman holds an MA and PhD in English Renaissance Literature from the University of Virginia.
