Michaela A. Nowell (formerly Michaela A. Null) recently received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Purdue University and began her appointment as assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac in fall 2012.

Originally from Ohio, she started out as a college student at Sinclair Community College and completed her bachelor’s degree at Wright State University before spending a year as an Americorps*VISTA.

Her work focuses on the intersections of gender, sexuality, and body, as well as race and class, taking a critical lens regarding the sociology of fatness.

Professor Nowell's approach to teaching is similar to her approach to qualitative research: conversational, exploratory and iterative.
