91自拍论坛

Dr. Emily Tucker has taught a wide range of courses at 91自拍论坛, from one on Broadway plays and musicals to a course on Oscar Wilde and Jane Austen. She also teaches an Expository Writing course that centers on reading and writing about empathy.

Dr. Tucker is especially interested in how novelists and playwrights try to teach their readers about emotions. In her research, she focuses on nineteenth-century writers like Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde, as well as on contemporary theatrical works that reimagine nineteenth-century texts for new audiences. 

She has been teaching at Hope since 2019.
