Maggie is a 6th year PhD Candidate, as well as a Senior Writing Fellow at BU\u2019s Educational Resource Center and in BU’s Fellowships Office. She teaches in both the English Department and Writing Program.<\/p>\n

Her dissertation explores contemporary U.S. and Irish narratives of healing, integrating trauma theory, gender theory and queer theory to understand the impact of the PTSD diagnosis (formalized in 1980) on how we respond to trauma. Her research considers the ways in which texts represent and re-imagine healing amid and against an increasing tendency to pathologize experience.<\/p>\n
