Jeffrey Hole
Jeffrey Hole, Associate Professor of English at the University of the Pacific, received his Ph.D. in English with an emphasis in Critical and Cultural Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. He teaches courses in American and World Literatures, including special topics on U.S. Empire, Slavery, and the field of Literature and Law.
He has essayed on a range of topics addressing Transnational American Studies, sentiment and security, the aesthetics of conflict in slave narratives, as well as the role of humanistic literary criticism within the managerial models of the neoliberal university.
He is currently completing a book, Cunning Inventions and the Force of Law, which examines the concomitances between nineteenth-century U.S. literature and the tactics of fugitive slaves within the context of international law and extra-territorial reach of U.S. power in the wake of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act.
His next project focuses on the development of managerialism in the nineteenth century.

Thoughts and Sentiments brings into focus the problematics coincident with the historical development of liberalism in so far as it evinces a mind thinking the possibilities of human emancipation while simultaneously acknowledging the ineluctable bonds between human liberty and state instrumentalities—bonds which, moreover, have undergone various morphologies and intensifications but which manifest immanently in political-commercial relations among humans of the past two hundred years and in our present moment.
