Megan is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at the University of Waterloo. She completed her BA at Wilfrid Laurier University and MA at the University of Waterloo. Megan's doctoral research examines teenage feminism in Canada during the 1960s and 1970s by assessing the involvement of high school students in feminist projects and the women's liberation movement. Her research considers what high school students themselves understood to be important feminist and social issues and the relationship between generations of feminists.
