Megan Harris

Originally from Vancouver, BC, Megan’s background is in English Literature and Media Studies, which has enabled her to build a career in working with writing in and across many disciplines with a fierce commitment to anti-colonial frameworks and strategies that are focused on helping each author to write more clearly and make stronger arguments in their own unique voices. As she was graduating from her PhD, Megan co-founded an academic editing business, Clarity Doctors Writing Consultants, where she loves working with academics from wide-ranging disciplines. Megan is delighted to teach both at ISUP and in the Faculty of Engineering on the St. George campus, where she works as communication and teamwork instructor on teaching teams on both of the Faculty of Engineering’s first-year engineering design courses and the Electrical and Computer Engineering’s capstone project course.

Megan is actively researching metacognition and metacognitive writing strategies and is always thinking about how best to explore and celebrate the uniqueness of each voice in first-year writing and engineering communications contexts. She also loves puns of all sorts and will happily talk at length about sound recording technologies, voices (oral and written), and bats!
