Social Studies :

Hi! My name is Emily and I am a recent graduate of American University in Washington, DC. I've loved history all my life, especially women's history, and enjoy sharing this passion with students. I completed my practicum student teaching at Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, MD (grades 7-8) and my student teaching at McKinley Technology High School (grade 9) in DC. At these locations, I taught topics in American, world, and European History. In addition to formal classroom experience, I have also interned in museum education settings, including the National Museum of American History in DC, and Fosterfield's Living Historical Farm and Ford Mansion, both in New Jersey. I love being able to work with teachers and students to present museum resources in an exciting and accessible manner. 

I enjoy many topics in history, but my expertise lies in the modern era, particularly in Britain. A lot of the research I conducted throughout my undergraduate career centered on women's protest movements, including women's activism in the peace movement in interwar Britain (1919-1939). I'm not in the classroom yet, but I am excited to get back into teaching after I complete a master's programme at King's College London this year in Contemporary British History.
