Margaret Berry has a breadth of experience teaching and studying civic thought. After earning her B.A. from Williams College in political science and leadership studies, she taught middle and high school humanities and completed her M.A. in history at the University of Notre Dame, where she is now a doctoral student.
Margaret’s current research focuses on the centrality of nature to modern American and English religious and civic traditions. Her dissertation, tentatively titled “On These Rocks I Will Build My Church,” focuses specifically on the emergence of mountains as frontier spaces for Catholic conversion and self-actualization in the 20th century.
Before pursuing her doctoral studies, Margaret also earned her M.A. in teaching from Montana State University and worked as an outdoor educator in Montana, Wyoming, and Massachusetts.
Her latest article is "‘Freedom of the Hills’: The Tenth Mountain Division and the Opening of the Vertical Frontier." Journal of Military History 89, No. 4 (October 2025): 858-86.
