Biography

Dr. Emanuel has been a professor at Towson University for over two decades. Her professional passions include teaching students, mentoring faculty in teaching and leadership, program development, and research. She created the first doctorate program in the history of Towson University, and served as its director for 16 years. She then served as department chairperson for 8 years. In 2009, she published a texbook called Hearing Science to support a course she had taught since her first year at Towson University. She created a video training series called Pure Tone Hearing Screening in Schools, to support school-based audiologists and support staff. In 2011, Dr. Emanuel received the University System of Maryland Regent's Award for Excellence in teaching. Her current research focus is The Lived Experience of the Audiologist project. This project includes interviews and surveys to explore audiology professional issues including occupational stress, practice changes as a result of changes in hearing healthcare, and audiologists' perceptions of their changing profession.
