Megan G. Massa, PhD

– Assistant Teaching Professor –

I practice student-centered, feedback-driven critical pedagogy grounded in active learning that integrates neuroscience with queer and feminist theories. My current teaching interests involve the development of student-driven course design and assessment strategies within the realm of “ungrading”.

My academic scholarship looks at ways to apply queer feminist theory to basic and preclinical neuroscience research in pursuit of more accurate & socially responsible science. My most recent peer-reviewed publication on this topic, Sexed Politics, Histories, and Futures is forthcoming in Integrative and Comparative Biology.
