Marcus A. Hudson

Marcus A. Hudson is a professor of English at Wabash College. He has been a
professor of English at Wabash since 1987. Before that he taught at the University
of Wisconsin-Green Bay, and before that at the University of Washington in Seattle
during his graduate school years. “There are few pleasures greater than watching
young minds grapple with ideas, dig into them, and grow.” Marcus has also worked
as a staff writer and editor for an archaeology project on the Columbia Plateau and
as an editor for an urban planner. Before his academic career, he was a free-lance
writer and published articles in Audubon,Pacific Northwest magazine, Stepping Out

He is co-director of the Environmental Concerns Committee at Wabash and a board
member of Friends of Sugar Creek, a local environmental group. He likes to get out into
the woods and be silent for awhile, just watching and listening. Or listen to music—the
Decemberists and Regina Spektor are favorite performers. Or hang out with friends or
continue a long, ongoing conversation with his wife over a good dinner and a glass of
wine.
