Teghan Barton is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. As an interdisciplinary scholar, Teghan comes to History by way of Cultural Studies and Canadian Studies and is broadly interested in the intersections of nation-making, gender, size, race, and ability. Her doctoral research explores how Anne Shirley, from Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, has been culturally redefined into a historical figure wherein her existence is viewed as both fact and fiction and exploring how Anne’s eternal girlhood and modern/antimodern sentiments create a myth of her existence. An activist, Teghan volunteers both on campus and in her community including with the Guelph Enabling Garden and is also a licenced paralegal under the Law Society of Upper Canada.
