Amy Maupin serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Education, Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Transylvania University, fostering interdisciplinary education through sociology, philosophy, history, anthropology, English, and the arts.
Education:
- Ed.D., University of Tennessee, 2000
- M.A., Eastern Kentucky University, 1996
- B.A., Eastern Kentucky University, 1991
Her research centers on young adult literature, secondary English/language arts, middle grade education, gender issues in education, and contemplative education. Maupin's pedagogy—rooted in Nel Noddings' ethic of care—creates safe, curiosity-driven spaces where teaching is framed as an "act of love" that connects academic content to students' life aspirations and self-understanding.
Her publication on historical and digital communication (2016) exemplifies interdisciplinary scholarship bridging literacy studies, technology, and educational evolution.
Awards highlight her teaching excellence:
- Bingham Award for Excellence in Teaching (2016)
- English Journal Edwin M. Hopkins Award Honorable Mention
Through professional organizations like NCTE and the Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education, Maupin advances mentorship in teacher development, though specific advisees and grants remain unlisted in available records.
