Evan McGonagill graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 2010 with a BA in English, where she developed her interests in queer studies, poetry, and British Victorian literature. Her senior thesis addressed the failure of George Eliot’s novel Romola (1862-3), anchoring a discussion of the relationship between textual form and content with a critical examination of historical context. She is currently employed by the Open Society Foundations in New York City, where she is participating in the development of collaborative content-management software for NGOs. Evan plans to pursue a graduate degree in English.
