Scott Ellis

Scott Ellis serves as Professor of English at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU), where he teaches early American literature, contemporary American literature, and environmental literature. His scholarly profile demonstrates sustained engagement with 19th-century American literary figures and evolving digital pedagogical approaches.

Ellis's research centers on narrative structures in early environmental literature, with significant publications examining Charles Brockden Brown, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville. His interdisciplinary work bridges literary studies with digital humanities, particularly through investigations of how technological platforms transform reading habits and classroom engagement. Current projects continue exploring narrative competition in ecological thought and the historical development of nature writing.

His publication trajectory reveals consistent scholarly productivity since 2002, with recent emphasis on nature writing history (2024), Melville studies (2020), and digital pedagogy (2014-2002). Key thematic threads include the intersection of literary form with environmental consciousness and the impact of digital tools on humanities education.
