Emilie Homan Brady

Emilie Homan Brady (she/her/hers) is a Ph.D. Student in the Department of Education Studies at the University of California, San Diego. Emilie’s research interests center around transformative learning that leads to sustained action. Drawing from learning sciences and critical whiteness studies, Emilie wants to understand what it looks like to support white people in their movement away from performative allyship toward sustained, everyday, proactive co-conspiratorship in POC-led liberation movements. Emilie’s research is informed by her experiences as a high school English and SEL teacher, professional coach, preservice teacher supervisor, and curriculum coordinator. Emilie loves working directly with adolescent students and hopes to ground her work in youth participatory action research.

Emilie earned her M.S. in Curriculum & Instruction-Multicultural Education and her B.S. in Secondary English Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her master’s thesis is entitled, “Kill ‘em with Kindness”: Midwest Nice as an Instantiation of Whiteness.
