Megan joined the Quest faculty in 2009, after teaching at a liberal arts university in Oregon. She started her education with a Classics degree from University of British Columbia, and an honours Psychology degree from Simon Fraser University. She switched her attention to Primatology after meeting a gorilla named Kakinga. At SFU, in the department of Women's Studies, Megan then studied attitudes toward the environment and women. For her PhD, she moved to the Comparative Cognition Lab at the Ohio State University, where she worked with chimpanzees and preschoolers. It took her 14 years and five different departments to get the sort of education that Quest students get in a single four-year degree! One of the foundations of a Quest education is the development of a Question. For most of her life, Megan has been trying to answer the question, "What does it mean to think, and why does it matter?" She's worked with preschoolers, monkeys (wild and captive), dogs, chimpanzees, and undergraduates trying to find an answer. Her connection with students, and her unwavering belief that learning should always be fun, are two foundational principles in her teaching. |
