Pamela Caughie 

In October 2022 Pamela Caughie gave a talk at the Shin Gallery in New York City at an exhibition of paintings by Danish artists Gerda Wegener and Lili Elbe (a.k.a. Einar Wegener). She was invited to speak as co-editor of the first scholarly edition of Lili Elbe’s life narrative, Man into Woman (1933), and as director of the Lili Elbe Digital Archive (www.lilielbe.org). The companion projects were Dr. Caughie’s latest publications before retiring in June 2022. The involvement of undergraduate and graduate students across disciplines in the creation of the digital archive, six years in the making, was just one of the reasons Dr. Caughie received the Peter Hans Kolvenbach Award for Engaged Teaching in 2018 in recognition of her career-long work with students on various research projects. She had previously received the Faculty Member of the Year award in 2012. Currently, Dr. Caughie, widely known as a Virginia Woolf scholar, is working on a chapter, “Bloomsbury’s Gender Politics,” to be included in The Cambridge History of the Bloomsbury Group (forthcoming in 2024).
