PROFESSOR: Trisha Tucker
DEPARTMENT: English & Thematic Option
Dr. Trisha Tucker is an Associate Professor of Writing in the Thematic Option Honors Program and Faculty in Residence in the McCarthy Honors College. She grew up in Cherry Hill, NJ and Phoenix, AZ, where she studied singing and acting at a performing arts high school. Dr. Tucker holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in English; her scholarly and pedagogical interests include nineteenth-century British literature, Evangelicalism and Evangelical reading practices, and supporting first-year student learning and the transition to college. One of her favorite things to talk about with students is the "hidden curriculum" of college—the knowledge and skills that are rarely addressed explicitly by faculty yet are crucial for student success. Dr. Tucker’s previous career was in journalism, writing articles about film, fashion, and the travel industry. In her off hours, she enjoys taking long walks with her husband Rick (a filmmaker, graphic novelist, and fellow Trojan), snuggling with their dog Pugsly, and reading lots and lots of books.
