Morgan Gates is a PhD Candidate and Teaching Fellow / Teaching Assistant in the University of California Santa Cruz's Literature Department. Her research is in twentieth-century U.S. American literature and sound studies. In her time as a graduate student she has taught many courses as part of instructional teams at UCSC, and she has designed and delivered courses as the instructor of record, including Literature and the Arts: Listening and Music, Topics in American Culture: Literature, Musical Genre, and Identity, Literature and Sound (and Soundscapes): Sounds Like (American) SF, and Writing and Research Methods: Gloria Anzaldúa & W.E.B. Du Bois.
She is an advocate for career diversity training for humanities graduates and undergraduates or anyone, especially in the public humanities. She has been a project partner with the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, Santa Cruz Shakespeare, and completed a Career Diversity Summer Workshop fellowship with Humanities Without Walls, a national consortium of humanities centers. She is also a Rhetoric Writing Assessment Specialist and Mentor for OnRamps at the University of Texas Austin, a dual-enrollment program, which partners with Texas Independent School Districts to provide high school students across the state with equitable access to college-level educational experiences. In these roles, Morgan's work faces in two directions. She provides students with college-level assessment and feedback, and she mentors first-year Writing Assessment Specialists as they navigate their new roles in the program. |
