Congratulations Darius Stewart!

Congratulations to Dr. Stewart on this amazing achievement! Dr. Darius Stewart received his BA with honors in English (creative writing) from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 2004, and an MFA in poetry from the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas at Austin in 2007. In 2017, he returned to graduate study in the Nonfiction Writing Program at the University of Iowa, where he earned an MFA in nonfiction and later served as Provost Visiting Writer in Nonfiction, teaching Advanced Nonfiction courses. He is a Lulu “Merle” Johnson Doctoral Fellow in English and received his PhD in English from the University of Iowa in May 2026, specializing in the Black autobiographical tradition, Black q***r masculinities, and Black masculinity studies. His dissertation, “Speculative Romance: A Critical Memoir,” supported by a Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Innovation Fellowship, is a hybrid project that subverts romance tropes by examining infidelity within the cultural context of the “down low.” He is the author of Intimacies in Borrowed Light: Poems (2022) and Be Not Afraid of My Body: A Lyrical Memoir (2024), a 2025 Stonewall Book Award–Israel Fishman Nonfiction Honoree and Lambda Literary finalist. He is currently on the academic job market and revising his dissertation for publication.
