Onur Ayaz

Lost & Found Archival Research Fellow

Onur Ayaz is an educator and doctoral candidate who oversees his classroom with a view towards cultivating an environment that promotes both teaching and learning in a friendly, safe, and inviting manner. Though Ayaz teaches English, he sees it as a responsibility to continue to learn and to continue to teach others so that we might, together, bring about meaningful, long-term change. In another frame, Ayaz studies the history of 20^th century American poetics, with a focus on marginalized, unknown, and understudied writers and thinkers like Charles Olson and Paul Metcalf.
