In Emily's classroom, you will not be allowed to sit passively, nor could you. Her intelligence, dry and clever sense of humor, and variety of academic interests combine for an engaging learning environment for thoroughly exploring complicated theories and texts. Her expectations are high, but balanced with a respect and encouragement that assures you that you are capable of meeting or exceeding them. In addition to being a great educator, Emily goes above and beyond the requirements of her position to support students in their interests, academic or not. She is a great guide for anyone who works with her and an unforgettable one, as well.
