We discuss the research methodologies and approaches employed in her MA research and how these provided a foundation to explore feminist and democratic perspectives within her teaching.  Emily shares ideas around how play and risk-taking are used in the learning environment she creates and ways of cultivating trust in the studio.  Throughout this episode, Emily highlights the importance of open dialogue within teaching and learning and the value of being curious as a practitioner.
