Trask Roberts earned a PhD in French and Francophone studies from the University of Pennsylvania and is an assistant professor of French and translation at Kent State University. Prior to joining the faculty at Kent State, he was a visiting scholar at the University of Paris (formerly Paris-VII).

His essays have appeared in the Journal of Modern Literature, Symposium, the Journal of Beckett Studies, Electric Lit, Exemplaria, Hopscotch, and elsewhere. Dr. Roberts’ current project is a monograph in which he explores the relationship between self-writing and self-translation in a corpus of 20th-century author-translators writing in French and English.
