Subsequently he was affiliated with the University of Toronto, the University of Alberta, and the University of Hong Kong.[9][10] Swirski’s study of American popular and "nobrow" cultures, From Lowbrow to Nobrow (2005), was followed up by two other books on "nobrow" literature, culture, and other forms of "artertainment" (his coinage): American Crime Fiction (2016) and a collection of critical essays When Highbrow Meets Lowbrow: Popular Culture and the Rise of Nobrow (2017). His book Ars Americana, Ars Politica (2010) received a positive review from the Financial Times.[11] In 2012, Swirski became a panelist on the regular BBC World Service program "The Forum".{{cn|date=February 2019}} Several of his books and articles from the Times Literary Supplement to the MIT Technology Review and other venues deal with the analysis of the work of the writer and philosopher Stanislaw Lem.{{cn|date=February 2019}} In the summer and fall of 2013, he was a speaker at the 4th Philippine Literary festival in Manila,[12] and a BBC World Service panelist at the Hong Kong International Literary Festival.[13] In March 2015, he was a keynoter at the Millennium International Documentary Film Festival in Brussels.[14] BibliographyBooks
