Kate Stephenson

Associate Professor, Department of English, University of Virginia

Class Year

1995

Professional Background

I teach in the Writing and Rhetoric Program at UVA, where I specialize in community-engaged pedagogy. I also teach Travel Writing and 20th century literature.

How has your English degree from Duke shaped your work life?

My coursework and professors at Duke encouraged my passion for writing and literature. I wrote an honors thesis my senior year under the direction of Marianna Torgovnick, and that first experience with literary scholarship influenced my decision to earn a Ph.D. and pursue an academic career.
