Noreen O'Connor

I’m an associate professor at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a small undergraduate-serving school where I teach professional writing, new media, literature, film, and also serve as a faculty adviser to our student newspaper.

My research has recently focused on literary works as they appeared in their original magazine serialized versions. One of my articles, "Consumer Culture and Jazz Age Discontents: Edith Wharton in Pictorial Review," appeared in the Edith Wharton Review in 2012.

I travelled to East Africa in summer 2014 as a part of a Fulbright-Hays research project, and am working on an article focusing on Edith Wharton’s and Ernest Hemingway’s nonfiction publications on Africa; some of their pieces were serialized in Scribner’s Magazine.

My work also focuses on digital humanities, and electronic and broadcast media.mI have volunteered at WRKC, Radio King's College, for the past five years, where I produce radio programs and podcasts. I am launching a community-based public program this summer called "Wyoming Valley Stories," which will bring student research and voices from our local archives to radio, podcasting, and to the Web.
