About

Before joining the UWW faculty, Mitch Boucher taught as a Lecturer for the Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies Department at UMass Amherst and as an Adjunct faculty member in English at Holyoke Community College and UMass Amherst. Mitch has taught courses in literature of the United States, sexuality studies, queer theory, American studies, and gay and lesbian history, as well as first-year, junior-level, and experimental writing.

His goal as a teacher is to create a supportive yet challenging learning environment where students pursue their own scholarly interests while critically engaging with the knowledge that is produced and circulates through our social institutions and cultural environments.

Mitch is a board member of the Sexual Minorities Education Foundation, a local community archive of LGBTQ history, activism, art, and literature. Outside of UWW, Mitch treasures time spent with his partner and school-age child.
