Biography

Megan Selinger has an extensive academic background in English literature, with a Ph.D. from the University of Western Ontario specializing in Shakespeare and Performance Theory. Her research interests encompass contemporary theatre, specifically focusing on modern adaptations of Shakespeare and the Gothic writing of the 19th century. She also has expertise in technical writing and communication, particularly in the context of STEM and business education. Selinger's current research examines how performance can disrupt the stability of play endings and enhance narrative construction. She is particularly engaged with outlier performances in Shakespearean productions, exploring deviations from expected endings and the impact on audience experiences. Her scholarly contributions also include analyzing communication barriers and challenges related to audience autonomy and engagement. Selinger's work is recognized through several fellowships and awards, including the Western Graduate Thesis Research Award in 2013 and the Ontario Graduate Scholarship in 2011-2012.
