Meet Dr. Emily Arledge
OF NOTE:
The idea that became my dissertation began on an undergraduate pilgrimage to Italy. While visiting Monte Cassino, the burial location of Saints Benedict and Scholastica, I grew fascinated by how visitors interacted with the shrine’s museum.
KNOWN FOR:
Students have a chance to touch history in my classes. I bring items collected from antique stores and secondhand shops for students to examine.
WHEN NOT IN THE CLASSROOM, CAN OFTEN BE FOUND: I love visiting museums and historic sites!
