Rebecca Harrison, Ph.D.

Dr. Rebecca L. Harrison, Professor of English at the University of West Georgia, teaches a broad range of courses in American and Women’s Literature, Gender Studies, and innovative pedagogy. Harrison, the 2015 Robert Reynolds Awardee for Excellence in Teaching and UWGs 2016 winner of the University System of Georgia Regents Scholarship of Teaching & Learning award, has published articles on Southern writers such as Eudora Welty and Beatrice Witte Ravenel, and she served as the 2016 Obama Fellow for Southern literature at the Transnational American Studies Institute at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. Her book length works reflect her diverse research interests as well. Her co-edited edition Inhabiting La Patria (2013) is the first critical collection devoted to the works of Julia Alvarez, and her two most recent books, Revitalizing Classrooms: Innovations and Inquiry Pedagogies in Practice (2017) and Teaching, Pedagogy, and Learning: Fertile Ground for Campus and Community Innovations (2017), showcase cross-disciplinary inquiry based learning strategies. Harrison currently serves as the Vice-President of the Eudora Welty Society and as Associate Editor of the Eudora Welty Review.
