Eileen Elrod: How Faculty are Adapting to the Pandemic & Writing to Discover Identity

Eileen Elrod is a Professor of English and Women’s and Gender
Studies, currently serving as Associate Vice Provost for Faculty
Development. Her scholarly interests focus on religion, race and
gender in early American literature, especially on contested
notions of American identity and autobiographical writing. Dr.
Elrod has been a member of the SCU faculty since 1992 and won the
Brutocao Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2007.


This conversation begins with a highly timely and relevant
segment on how faculty are adapting to online learning. We then
dive into Eileen’s passion for teaching writing, how writing can
be used to discover identity, how literature can improve empathy
and what makes a great classroom environment.
