Blaine Greteman, Ph.D., began his tenure as dean of The University of Tulsa’s Kendall College of Arts & Sciences on July. 1, 2024. Greteman earned his doctorate in English literature from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008. A Rhodes Scholar, Greteman received his master’s in English literature from Oxford after receiving his bachelor’s degree in English literature from Oklahoma State University in 1998.

Greteman’s research focuses on early modern book history, poetry, and drama, including Milton and Shakespeare. He has authored two books: “The Poetics and Politics of Youth in Milton’s England” and “Networking Print in Shakespeare’s England.”

A former journalist for TIME Magazine and a prolific writer whose expertise includes the plays of Shakespeare and the poetry of Milton, Greteman has also written for popular publications such as Slate, Newsweek, and The London Review of Books. He is a staunch advocate for the liberal arts and has a keen interest in the rapidly emerging field of artificial intelligence and how AI will affect universities of the future.
