Megan Burke, PhD

With 25 years in higher education and a PhD in philosophy, I bring deep academic expertise and a mentoring-centered approach to my work with students and scholars. I spent 10 years as a tenured professor, teaching and mentoring students and faculty across disciplines, and served on admissions and scholarship committees. Throughout my academic career, I’ve worked closely with students and faculty as they developed their intellectual interests, articulated their goals, and found their way through complex academic systems.

​

I’m also an accomplished scholar and writer. I have published three books with University of Minnesota Press, Routledge, and Polity, along with 19 peer-reviewed articles and op-eds in publications including the Los Angeles Times. My scholarship spans philosophy and interdisciplinary work on power, identity, and social change.

​

That background shapes how I work today. I bring the perspective of an educator, writer, and higher education expert to college advising and dissertation coaching. I'm passionate about helping people think deeply, articulate their ideas and values, and develop strategic pathways and work that reflects their own insights.
