About:
Megan’s research focuses on the intersection of nineteenth-century British literature and religion, with a particular focus on the novel and non-fiction prose. She is especially interested in Victorians’ interpretive practices and discussions about the potentially transformative power of reading literature. She has published book reviews in Religion & Literature and Religion and the Arts.
Megan is also the new director of The Great Conversation program. TGC serves as Gordon’s first-year writing and first-year seminar course. In addition to managing the curriculum, the TGC director also hires, trains, and manages the peer mentors (upperclassmen who serve as TAs and help first-year students successfully manage the transition to college-level academics).
