is Doctor-Assistant at KU Leuven, where he teaches courses on European and Comparative Literature, Literary Multilingualism and Translation. His research interests are in theater and/in translation, literary translation, and transatlantic & queer modernism(s). His dissertation “Queer Visibility on the Transatlantic Modernist stage” (Rutgers University 2016) argues that the staging of queer visibility in selected dramas by Argentinean playwright José González Castillo, Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, and US writers Tennessee Williams and Djuna Barnes is intelligible only within a constellation of transatlantic influences. Ben has published research and reviews in Modern Drama, Theatre Research International, Vooys, and Theatre Journal.
