Hi all! I’m Maria Seger, and I’m currently an assistant professor of English at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I finished my PhD at the University of Connecticut in 2016, and I was part of the inaugural cohort of the Connected Academics in 2015-16. I’m not committed to a lifetime on the tenure track, so I’m looking forward to learning more about positioning myself for new opportunities as they arise. I’m currently in charge of my department’s career diversity professionalization for graduate students, so I’d be happy to chat about programming for the next generation as well.
