Megan Harris

Megan is a Sessional Lecturer for ISP100 (UTM) and in the Engineering Communications Program (STG). During her PhD in English Literature (UofT, 2020), Megan examined issues of voice in written and heard poetry by studying Victorian and Modernist poetry in the UK and the US alongside early sound recording technologies (phonograph, radio, and the iPad app for TS Eliot’s The Wasteland). Megan is an active academic editor—she co-founded and co-runs her academic editing company, Clarity Doctors Writing Consultants. She approaches writing pedagogy from an anti-colonial focus on the uniqueness of each person’s voice as it speaks on and off the page. She is especially interested in thinking through and defining clarity and wrestling with the challenges of so-called “standard English” and widely varied Englishes. Megan has most recently published a co-written article on public perceptions of individuals’ careers in aviation in Science in Technology.
