Teena
Gabrielson spent her youth and college years
in Minnesota. After obtaining her
undergraduate degree from Macalester College
in St. Paul, Minnesota, she moved to
Northern California where, in addition to
camping and hiking, she studied political
theory at the University of California,
Davis. Having completed her M.A. (1997) and
Ph.D. (2002), Teena taught political theory
and American politics for four years at
Southwestern University, a liberal arts
college in central Texas. For her teaching,
she received awards of excellence from both
University of California, Davis and
Southwestern University.
At UW, Teena teaches
courses in political theory which include Introduction to Political
Philosophy, Ancient and Modern Political Philosophy, American
Political Thought, Environmental Political Thought, Contemporary
Democratic Theory, and a seminar entitled Theories and Practices of
Citizenship. Teena’s research interests include American political
thought-- with an emphasis upon the Founding and Progressive Eras--
and contemporary environmental political thought. Currently her
research includes a study of the deployment of sympathy in
Revolutionary Era literary and political texts, and an investigation
of contemporary understandings of environmental or ecological
citizenship. Examples of Teena’s published works include,
“Woman-Thought, Social Capital, and the Generative State: Mary
Austin’s Contribution to the Progressive Conception of an
Integrative Civic Ideal” published in the American Journal of
Political Science, and “Mirroring Modernity: America’s
Conflicting Identities” with Richard Sinopoli, published in
Polity. |
