In addition to his responsibilities as Chair, Dr. Shinabargar teaches a variety of courses dealing with French and Francophone language, culture and literature. His principal area of research includes 19th and 20th century French literature, with a concentration on poetry and comparative studies. His interests include the role of violence in modern aesthetics, the rhetoric of literary movements, and explorations of expressivity in poetic language - in particular, phonetic structures and their articulation. His most recent publications deal with the work of Lautréamont, Henri Michaux, René Char, and Philippe Jaccottet, among others. He has edited a special issue of La Revue des Sciences Humaines on the French poetic tradition, Résonance: l'accord du poème, and his book, The Revolting Body of Poetry (BRILL | Rodopi), was published in 2016.
