Meghan Rose Donnelly's current work focuses on the Indonesian Order of Catholic nuns and their lifelong process of self-becoming. Her research interweaves themes of subjectivity, performance, and moral experience to investigate how individuals are made into united, interchangeable subjects within institutional contexts. The nuns, regularly reassigned to different convents worldwide, adapt to diverse communities and embody the joyful path of sisterhood. She employs theatrical methods in her ethnographic research, utilizing playmaking as a representation and research methodology. Notably, she directed ethnographic plays such as 'Collapsed,' which addressed the experiences of elderly residents in a South London care home, and 'Convent Calling,' which compared the experiences of Indonesian Catholic nuns with living through lockdown. Meghan completed her PhD in 2022 from the London School of Economics and Political Science, supervised by Catherine Allerton and Nick Long, and holds a Master's degree from the University of Hawai‘i Mānoa and a Bachelor's degree from Williams College.
Includes MSc in Advanced Electrical Power Systems and MSc in Communications and Signal Processing.
