Emily’s clarity in learning goals and creativity with rigor in assignments resonated deeply with the undergraduates she taught in the writing class “Memory in Contemporary Global Art”.

She noted in her teaching statement that “teaching art history can equip students with skills and ethical commitments that they can carry with them into a plethora of career paths, as well as engage them with current events…my goal as an educator is to address students holistically to develop critical thinking skills, visual literacy, and empathy that will inform how they interact with the wider world.”
