About Linda Gordon
Routeburn Track, New Zealand Linda A. Gordon earned her Ph.D. in comparative literature from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She
taught literature and composition in the Division of Humanities of the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, 1990-2004.
A specialist in modernism, she presented and published essays on the art and literature of the period. Her interests
were wide ranging, however, and took her far beyond her original pursuits—literally and figuratively.
She was at the vanguard of integrating technology into the classroom, offering both instruction and encouragement
to her colleagues and students. Outside of academia, she devoted herself to a variety of artistic, environmental
and social causes. She volunteered for a range of organizations, from the Bonnet House to Habitat for Humanity,
and adopted Raggs, a rescued greyhound. She nurtured a passion for travel and, in her inimitable fashion, embarked
on a solitary journey around the world in 1996, keeping a journal of her adventures. An avid outdoorswoman,
a proponent of the arts, a champion of social causes, Linda A. Gordon was an educator in the truest sense of
the word.
