Ms Emily

Hello everyone!

My name is Ms. Emily and this is my first year at Açı schools. I’m from Boston, Massachusetts, on the east coast of the US, but I haven’t lived there since I finished High School.
I studied sociology (especially the sociology of religion) and environmental science at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, which looks a lot like Hogworts! This is a picture taken from the courtyard of the building in which I shared an office.

Since coming to Turkey I have taught undergraduate-level History and Composition (writing), and given lots of workshops and seminars for undergraduate and graduate students on how to do research, take notes, write exams, get articles published etc.

I also got my Masters degree in cultural studies, with a specialization in literary theory.

When I’m not at school, I love to read novels and literary theory, take pictures, hike at tree-line, and take my cat for walks. And I really really want to go parasailing the next time my husband and I visit his family in Antalya.

This is me and my husband on walk near our old home.

And we were in Rome over the summer holiday.
