Ellen Kennedy Michel first encountered the work of Susan Gubar when studying English and comparative literature at the University of Minnesota. As a writer and teacher, she helped establish The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis and taught English at Trinity College Dublin before moving to Bloomington with her family. Now a content specialist within the College of Arts and Sciences, she brings a wide range of interests — in food studies, the arts, humanities, and literature — to her engagement with the many fascinating dimensions of Indiana University.
