Jason Cohen's academic career has been marked by significant achievement and demonstrated enthusiasm in his field. Currently an Assistant Professor of English at Berea College in Kentucky, he holds a terminal degree in English, with specializations in related fields such as contemporary philosophy and cultural and literary theory. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in English and Cultural Theory from Tufts University in 1997, Jason Cohen received certification in secondary education from John Carroll University. In 2000, he earned a Master of Arts in English Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, followed by his Ph.D. from the same institution.

While completing his doctoral studies in English, Jason Cohen received a fellowship that allowed him to attend John Guillory's seminar "The Fate of Rhetoric in Early Modern England" at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. He also received a Madeleine Doran Dissertation Fellowship at the Institute for Research in the Humanities. In addition, Dr. Cohen has studied at the Cornell University School for Criticism and Theory.

Jason Cohen has been recognized for his work with presentations at international conferences, including the Royal Society's "Circulating Ideas" Conference. In addition, he has won nationally competitive grants from such institutions as the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Huntington Library, and the National Humanities Center. He has reviewed such books as Colorblind Shakespeare: New Perspectives on Race and Performance and Shakespeare and Republicanism for The Upstart Crow: A Shakespeare Journal. Furthermore, Dr. Cohen's reviews of theatrical performances have appeared in the Shakespeare Bulletin.

Duke University has invited Jason Cohen as a Visiting Fellow in the spring of 2012. Dr. Cohen will work in the BorderWork(s) Lab, where he will examine the role of maps in documenting and shaping early modern debates about sovereignty at sea. He will explore the relationship of historical debates to contemporary ecological controversies and oceanic policies.
