Singer ; a co-edited collection of original essays, Reading Philip Roth; an extended essay on exile and return, "Eastern Europe in American-Jewish Literature"; and another piece, "Life Encounters: Reflections on Elie Wiesel." He has also co-authored two other essays, "The Burdens of Inheritance" and "The Reluctant Witness," both of which treat significant aspects of exilic experience. His scholarly/experiential essay, "In Search of a Doorpost: Meditations on Exile and Literature," won the Sarah Russo Prize for an Essay on Exile. He was recognized as an "FIU Top Scholar" in 2015. James M. Sutton is Associate Professor of English at Florida International University. He has taught in England, Italy, and Slovenia.

He is the author of Materializing Space at an Early Modern Prodigy House: The Cecils at Theobalds, 1564-1607 (Ashgate 2005), in addition to related articles. In February 2016, he served as project lead when Florida International University exhibited a Folger Shakespeare Library First Folio (as part of the nationwide tour, "First Folio!: The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare," jointly arranged by the ALA and the Folger). His current research foregrounds "local Shakespeares" in Slovenia and South Florida. This work bridges Shakespeare to issues of exile, transplantation, immigration, and (in Miami) Latinx identities.
