ENROLLED • Cohort 7
LOCATION • Madison, Wis.
Gullickson (she/her) grew up near Madison, Wis., and has spent most of her life living in Wisconsin where she enjoys all types of outdoor activities such as mountain biking, kayaking, backpacking, hiking, and camping. She lives with her boyfriend and their shih-tzu, Oscar. Michelle earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin- Platteville, where she studied English/Literature and focused on post-colonial literary theory. She earned a master’s degree in English/Literary Studies from the University of Montana-Missoula, focusing on Ecocritical theory, Native American literature, British Romanticism, and early American literature. Michelle has taught college writing for the University of Montana, UW-Platteville, technical colleges, and most recently she’s an associate lecturer for the Department of English at UW-Stevens Point. She teaches writing using place- based pedagogy and texts from underrepresented authors and perspectives. Alongside teaching, Michelle has worked as an academic advisor at UW- Platteville and UW-Madison, mostly working with undergraduate engineering students. Through this work, she developed as a student-centered professional, appreciating the legacy of exclusion in engineering and in higher education and working actively to provide solutions to inequity. During her time as a doctoral student, she will be working with the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point sustainability coordinator, Dave Barbier, to develop a climate action plan for the campus in pursuit of carbon neutrality. She hopes that her doctoral work will enhance her scientific literacy and provide strategies for community development. As an online instructor, she is also hoping to explore online program development, as she sees the potential in online education from an equity and access standpoint.
