Dr Emily McLemore
Dr. Emily McLemore is a Lecturer with the Foundation Year Programme. She earned her Ph.D. in English with a dissertation titled ‘Desiring Women: Pleasure and Power in Late Medieval English Literature’ from the University of Notre Dame. She also holds a Master of Arts in English from Oregon State University and a Bachelor of Arts in English and Secondary Education from Western Colorado University. Her areas of specialisation include Old and Middle English language and literature, gender and sexuality studies, and inclusive pedagogy in higher education. Emily is an experienced and passionate teacher. She was formally trained as both a university lecturer and a secondary educator, and has previously taught English literature, writing and rhetoric, and gender studies courses at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame London, and Oregon State University. As a licensed secondary educator, she also has experience teaching English language arts and creative writing for students aged 11 to 18. Emily’s research focuses on representations of women and the intersections of gender, sex, and violence in medieval texts. Her book project, based on her doctoral dissertation, examines representations of women’s desire and explores how eroticism works for and through female characters in Robert Henryson’s Testament of Cresseid, The Book of Margery Kempe, Geoffrey’s Chaucer’s Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Although her research interests typically tend toward texts from the later medieval period, she maintains a profound love for Old English poetry, most especially Beowulf. Foundation Year Our degrees with an embedded Foundation Year offer the chance to study almost any undergraduate degree at BGU over four years, rather than the traditional three.
