Megan Mau is a grad student in SUNY Cortland’s English department working on her thesis project. The overarching scope of the project is to trace the ideas of madness and gender across timelines, both historical and literary/mythic. Her research interests lie in the subjective definitions of madness, feminist theory, and historicism. She received her B.A. in English with a psychology minor from SUNY Cortland. Her writing career is just getting started, but she has a lot to say. Right now her work exists as independently published pieces on HASTAC.
