My name is Katie Eagan, I have taught composition, critical thinking, and literature classes at LPC. My experience teaching in Croatia on a Fulbright Scholar award and my year abroad in Ireland as an undergraduate inspired me to chaperone three student and community trips to Europe and co-lead LPC's first study abroad trip to Spain with humanities professor Elizabeth Wing Brooks. Before resigning from my full-time position in June of 2026, I led LPC's Global Engagement Task Force, which has been working to provide study abroad and global internships opportunities for students. I also advised the Global Pathways Club, founded by two students who did global microbusiness internships with Máximo Nivel in the summer of 2025. I am now spending my time working in international education and continue to serve as a Fulbright Liaison if you are a faculty member or student who would like to learn more about Fulbright opportunities.

If you are finding my page because I have returned to LPC to teach a class, my English C1000 class has a theme of "Identity, Community, and Country" and looks at how positionality impacts our personal development and frames our participation in community and nation. My English C1001 class thinks critically about how different cultures imagine their relationship to nature and the environment. I have also taught English 4 (critical thinking and writing about literature), English 35 (American literature), English 41 (world literature), English 44 (Literature of the American West), and versions of English 45 (Studies in Fiction) that focus on Spanish literature (taught in Sevilla, Spain), Irish literature, and multicultural American literature. In Croatia, I taught a version of the multicultural literature course and a graduate course called "Transnational Dimensions of American White Identities."
