Hi! I’m Emily Kimbell! Thank you for visiting my teaching weblog! Here you’ll find information about me and my teaching philosophy, along with my class syllabi and assignments. 

About Me

I am the director of the Newnan-Coweta Historical Society and McRitchie-Hollis Museum, a non-profit located in my home town of Newnan, Georgia. I am also an English doctoral student and Graduate Teaching Assistant at Georgia State University. My research is based in feminist rhetorical studies and primarily focuses on recovering and resituating overlooked voices of the field. Her master’s thesis, “‘For the Elevation of Women’: Recovering the Lost Voices of College Temple, 1853-1889”, uncovered the forgotten history of College Temple, a 19th-century women’s college in Newnan, Georgia which was the first to give master of arts degrees to women. As an active member of my community, I enjoy exploring the city’s historic spaces, acting in musical theatre productions, and working as a freelance writer for local media outlets.
