Biography

Andrew Ginger is vice provost for international engagement at Northeastern, where he identifies international locations with strategic opportunities for partnerships and develops and facilitates relationships with international institutions, contexts, and partners. Previously, he was dean of faculties for NCH at Northeastern, where he provided renewed strategic direction in research, education, planning, and the academic career. 

Before joining Northeastern, Ginger held full professorships and leadership positions at three U.K. universities. He has played an active role in the British higher education sector, as a panel chair and peer reviewer for the Arts & Humanities Research Council, as a 2014 Research Excellence Framework subpanel member, and as an officer in a range of academic organizations. He also founded and co-leads a large international network in 19th-century Hispanic studies, is a member of the scientific committee of the Spanish-government funded research group HISTOPIA, and has joined the advisory committee of the research center on Cultures, Languages and Communication at Xi’an-Jiaotong-Liverpool University in China. Ginger’s recent work explores questions of commonality across cultures, with alternatives to the concept of modernity, and with experimental practice in comparative writing. His fifth monograph, “Instead of Modernity,” which ranges across Latin America, Spain, the U.S., France, Britain, and beyond, was published in 2020.
