Elizabeth (Liz ) Cannon (ey/em/eirs)

I hold a Ph.D. in English Literature with a specialty in Women’s Writing and Feminist Theory from the University of Wisconsin Madison, and I am currently an Emeritus LGBTQ+ Resource Center Director at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I founded and served as the director of this center for 14 years and as a senior lecturer in Women’s and Gender Studies for 25 years. Prior to directing the LGBTQ+ Resource Center, I founded and directed the Women’s Center on the UWO campus as well. I also developed, coordinated, and taught for the LGBTQ Studies certificate program. I have been developing curriculum for SAFE Ally trainings and other LGBTQ and diversity trainings for 25 years. So it was a natural step for Amney and me to create our business, Somewhere Over the Moon Trainings when I retired. In my free time, I rode horses, and I still lift weights and hike in nature whenever I can.
