Shannon Weber, Ph.D

Hello! I'm delighted my work brought you here. I'm an author, editor, researcher, recovered academic, and conjurer of collective transformation and liberation. That commitment to liberation is what unites my diverse body of work, as I consider it my assignment to pursue in this lifetime. (My name literally means "wisdom weaver"!) My career spans 15+ years in the fields of writing and editing, digital comms and media, and higher education. The author of three non-fiction books on feminism, activism, and civic engagement, I am currently working on a fourth book about radical femininity - stay tuned! 

You may have seen my writing in indie outlets like Bitch Magazine, Teen Vogue, and my previous employer, The Body Is Not An Apology. During my time as a gender studies professor, my work in LGBTQ+ studies was published in international peer-reviewed journals and edited collections. Most recently I've led the creative direction and project management for my dear friend and mentor, New York Times-winning author and poet Sonya Renee Taylor.

I proudly reside in the wonderfully witchy and enchanted seaside city of Salem, MA with my spouse and our chiweenie rescue mix Freya.
