Matthew Chambers is a PhD candidate in English Literature at the University of Buffalo, New York, who currently resides in Warsaw teaching English composition and literature. He has 9 years university level teaching experience in Buffalo, NY and Philadelphia, PA, as well as in Warsaw, primarily in undergraduate composition and introductory literature courses. His approach to his students involves a mixture of lecturing, moderated group work, and frequent individual conferences with the students - all with the design to shape drafts of their writing into a professional form.

His dissertation, which he is currently writing, focuses on literature written in Britain and Ireland from 1922 to 1956. His goal is to defend his dissertation in May 2011. A paper he presented in 2007 was published in Poetry and Public Language (eds. Tony Lopez and Anthony Caleshu, 2008). He recently presented a paper at a conference at the University of Sussex, UK.

Additionally, he has edited several literary journals, the most recent of which published work by emerging British writers, and he also works as a proofreader for several University of Warsaw academic publications.
