Dr. Merton came to Dartmouth from Texas A&M University's Center for Teaching Excellence and taught in the higher education administration graduate program for the College of Education. In her doctoral research, Dr. Merton collected and analyzed educators' occupational life histories to better understand their experience of teacher development and curricular reform. Dr. Merton's training and consulting skills were honed while working for the U.S. Peace Corps in Washington DC. Her experience with supporting academic writing is documented in a forthcoming chapter in Working with Faculty Writers, (Utah State University Press). Her Writing 5 will ask students to explore their own learning through writing.
