Natalya Din-Kariuki is Assistant Professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies at the University of Warwick. She studied at the University of Oxford, and, from 2016 to 2019, was Lecturer in English at Worcester College, Oxford, where she taught literature from 1550 to 1830, including Shakespeare, as well as topics in critical theory and contemporary literature. She has held visiting fellowships at the University of Leeds and the Folger Institute in Washington, DC, and at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities at the University of Edinburgh. Her research examines the literary and intellectual history of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, with a particular focus on travel writing, transnational and transcultural encounters, modes of cosmopolitanism, and rhetoric and poetics. At present, she is completing her first book project, which examines the ways in which early modern English travellers drew on the habits and techniques of classical rhetoric to understand and describe their experiences.
