Dr. Melissa Shew works in the history of philosophy, feminist philosophy, philosophy of education, and issues related to women at work. Most recently, she edited Philosophy for Girls: An Invitation to the Life of Thought (with Kim Garchar, OUP 2020) and On the Vocation of the Educator in This Moment (with Jennifer Maney, 2021) gave a TEDx Talk on Women and Intellectual Empowerment (2021), and wrote a white paper (Spring 2023) called The Power of Intellectual Joy for the Future of Women at Work. She is Senior Faculty Fellow in the Center for Teaching and Learning, Faculty Director of the Executive MBA Program, and Co-Director of Marquette's Institute for Women and Leadership.
