After completing his B.A. in comparative literature at Cornell University with summa cum laude honors, Dorian pursued his Ph.D. in the Program in Comparative Literature and Literary Theory at the University of Pennsylvania. Dorian’s dissertation, Frontiers of Hate: Anti-Semitism, Empire, and the Novel in Nineteenth-Century France, examines how modern French anti-Semitism was shaped by—and contributed to— the rise of empire in the nineteenth century. Other recent projects include an article forthcoming in French Studies in 2008. Among the fellowships Dorian has received are an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation/American Council of Learned Societies Dissertation Completion Fellowship, a Florence Gould Foundation Dissertation Fellowship awarded by the Council for European Studies, and a Fulbright student grant. In 2004, he won the Naomi Schor Memorial Award for best graduate student paper at the annual Nineteenth Century French Studies Colloquium. Dorian currently sits on the Executive Council of the Modern Language Association.
