Obtained a PhD in Comparative Literature from University of California, Irvine in 2019. His dissertation analyzes the works of the filmmaker Gariné Torossian and writers Vahé Oshagan (1922-2000) and Krikor Beledian (1945-), arguing that each in their own way paves the way for Armenian diasporic becoming. During the 2019-2020 Academic Year, Dr. Jallatyan was a Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Armenian Studies in University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. For the past year, he has been teaching at the Department of Armenian Studies in Pázmány Péter Catholic University in Budapest. Dr. Jallatyan’s research, while focusing specifically on Vahé Oshagan, also looks broadly into diaspora Armenian artistic production by situating it within ongoing critical theoretical debates.
