About the Authors

Hi, my name is Ainsley Mowers and I wrote the text for the keywords: Father, Jamaica, and England. I am a student at Santa Clara University who has a passion for social justice and dismantling unjust paradigms, especially in relation to the Romanticist period. This is exactly what I aimed to do in my three particular essays. Thank you and I hope you enjoy reading them!

Hi there! My name is Maggie Pollard, and I wrote the keyword posts Lady, Will, and Colour. I am an English and Child Studies major at Santa Clara University. I plan to become a middle school English teacher, implementing an emphasis on equity and diverse narratives while centering social-emotional learning in the classroom. This project has created space for just that, via zooming in on the experiences of POC within the Romantic era. I hope you enjoy reading these posts as much as we enjoyed writing them!

Hey! I’m Francesca D’Urzo and I wrote the keyword entries for Black, Poor, Angelina, Olivia, and Dido. I am an English major and Journalism & Italian Studies double minor at Santa Clara University. With an interest in professional writing and technical communication, I strive to amplify the voices and experiences of marginalized individuals to contribute to the deconstruction of socioeconomic injustices. This project was a great place to channel that passion and I hope you enjoy our work, thank you!

Hi! My name is Megan Milligan and I wrote the keyword entries for He/Him, Independence and Pray.
