Dr. Katie Frye
Associate Professor of English

Katie Frye is Associate Professor of English at Pepperdine University. A native Texan, she earned her PhD in English from University of California, Santa Barbara. Her teaching and research interests focus on the literature of the American South, American modernism, the trope of the grotesque, and the authors Kate Chopin, Flannery O’Connor, and Eudora Welty. The recipient of a Howard A. White Award for Teaching Excellence, Dr. Frye first fell in love with Switzerland during her new faculty retreat through the Center for Faith and Learning. She and her family are looking forward to working with students and staff in shaping a rich learning community for the summer 2026 program at the Château d'Hauteville.
