Marjorie Wonham is an Associate Teaching Professor in the College of the Environment at the University of Washington. Her research interests encompass three primary areas: first, she explores pedagogy in higher education, particularly focusing on field courses and how they can foster student and faculty self-authorship. Second, she investigates the interdisciplinary relationship between the arts and sciences, particularly through eco-poetics and its role in understanding and responding to the Anthropocene. Finally, her work in Marine Invertebrate Zoology and Ecology examines how introduced species affect animal behavior and ecology, particularly in the context of climate change and socio-ecological systems. In her teaching, she emphasizes developing student self-authorship through guided inquiry and designs courses that incorporate a combination of field and laboratory work along with both group and individual activities. Through these courses, students engage deeply with concepts in marine biology, aiming to enhance their understanding of marine systems while honing essential skills such as curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication.
