Brian Casemore teaches courses in curriculum theory, English education, human development, and social diversity, and he works to further humanities education through educational projects that center the arts and aesthetic experiences. Brian develops educational programming in the framework of Community-Engaged Teaching (CET), preparing teachers to foster community in classrooms and schools through academic study, autobiographical inquiry, and engagement with larger civic and social spheres.
In the field of curriculum studies, Brian’s research focuses on autobiography, place, and psychoanalysis. His book on southern place and identity, The Autobiographical Demand of Place: Curriculum Inquiry in the American South (Peter Lang, 2008), explores the role of place in self-formation and conceptualizes a southern studies curriculum rooted in southern literature and autobiographical inquiry.
