Ashley PassmoreView profile

Assistant Professor

Texas A&M UniversityUnited States

Ashley Passmore serves as Instructional Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Jewish Studies at Texas A&M University within the College of Arts and Sciences. Her academic home centers on Jewish Studies with institutional affiliation to the broader university framework. Her research spans German Jewish history, Austrian cultural studies, Modern Israel, Yiddish language/culture, and specialized pedagogy for teaching the Arab-Israeli conflict. Notable emphasis appears on Holocaust literature, migrant cultures in Germany, and intercultural communication frameworks. Publication analysis reveals a concentrated 2019 output surge focused exclusively on conflict pedagogy methodologies, with 2020-2021 works expanding into German-Jewish literary memory studies. The scholarly trajectory demonstrates a consistent pivot toward experiential learning frameworks and narrative analysis in politically sensitive contexts. Teaching innovations emerge as the dominant professional theme, particularly through culinary approaches, film analysis, dual-narrative frameworks, and institutional contextualization of conflict education across diverse academic settings including Catholic universities, HBCUs, and international contexts. Professional activities indicate significant engagement with curriculum development challenges across varied institutional landscapes, though no formal scientific awards or fellowship recognitions appear documented in available materials. Her advisory work remains undocumented in source materials, though the extensive pedagogical publications suggest substantial mentorship of teaching assistants and junior faculty in conflict-related course development. Current research trajectories include Jewish satire in digital media and Yiddish cultural revival in Vienna.
