Matthew Borushko teaches courses in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British literature. His research interests include British Romanticism, poetry and poetics, the relationship between aesthetics and politics, Adorno and the Frankfurt School, and the theory and philosophy of nonviolence.

He has published articles and reviews in European Romantic Review, Romantic Circles Praxis, and Literature Compass; and he has an essay forthcoming in the Keats-Shelley Journal drawn from his current research project, a monograph on Percy Bysshe Shelley.

At Boston University, he was the recipient of the David Bonnell Green Prize, the Celia M. Millward Prospectus Prize, and the Warren and Myrtle Ault Graduate Fellowship in English History and Literature.

In addition to the Romantics, he teaches Critical Theory, Introduction to Literary Studies, and a general literature section on violence and nonviolence.
