Jeffery William DonaldsonProfessor, English & Cultural Studies
Overview
Jeffery Donaldson’s preoccupations have largely derived from a lifelong love of poetry and poetics. His ongoing work in theories of metaphor and metaphoric thinking has evolved into the application of “relational” paradoxes in many disciplines beyond English studies, most recently science, quantum physics, spacetime and cosmology.
