John Nowak

Interim Allston Burr Resident Dean
John Nowak

Hello Leverett! As your Resident Dean, I am here to support your academic and personal well-being and to help you navigate Harvard’s numerous resources. I also represent Leverett students at the Administrative Board, which hears petitions for academic exceptions and handles disciplinary cases.

 

I have research interests in the intersection of identity, reform, and literature in the context of 19th and 20th century South Asia. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, I completed my undergraduate degree in Political Science at McGill University, and I hold a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School. I am a doctoral candidate with the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard. I have worked for two think tanks, was a Teach for America corps member, and taught in a public school setting for five years. In my spare time, I love running and biking long distances, going hiking and camping, and spending time outside. I also enjoy traveling, playing music, reading, and cooking with my wife and daughter.

 

I take he/him/his pronouns. You can contact me via email (leveretthousedean@fas.harvard.edu) or by signing up for an office hour appointment with me here.
