About
Loren Maria Guay is a PhD student in the Joint Program in English and Education. Born in Asunción, Paraguay and raised in Brooklyn, NY, they earned their BA in Classics (with minor in translation studies) at the University of Michigan (2015), MPhil in Classics at Cambridge (2016), and MA in Classics with a certificate in writing pedagogy at UCLA (2019). Since then, they've worked as a creative writing teacher for 6th-12th grade students, as a university writing specialist at the University of Oregon, and in digital accessibility and distance education at Northwestern University in Chicago. They are also a poet and speculative fiction writer.
Loren is excited to be back at Michigan to pursue their academic interests, which include writing centers, the history and teaching of composition, and critical university studies, especially these areas' intersections with labor, anticolonial/decolonial studies, and digital rhetorics. They have published in the Writing Center Journal on contingent writing center workers and the rhetoric of (dis)comfort.
