Mary K. Galli

Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Harvard's English Department, where I research 20th-century and contemporary environmental literature and have taught Environmental Disasters and Resilience (2024), Literature Today (2021, 2022) and The Age of the Novel (2022). 

Since 2016, I have earned two Master's degrees in English from Harvard University and Georgetown University and a B.A. in English, with a creative writing concentration, from Barnard College. Between undergraduate and graduate school, I worked in New York City at leading publishing houses, literary agencies, and literary scouting firms.

When not reading and writing, I like relaxing with my spouse (and our dogs) at our home in Virginia and hiking at local parks. We also love spending time with our families in California and Nevada.
