Emily Godager is a Teaching Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee within the College of Letters & Science.

She also explores pedagogical strategies for teaching statistical methods in communication research through innovative frameworks like Bayesian analysis and metaphorical reasoning using superhero themes.

Recent research highlights include analyzing remote work challenges, pandemic-era communication strategies, and boundary management post-parental leave. Her studies emphasize the interplay between discourses of professionalism and personal identity, as well as the role of sensemaking in organizational transitions and leader exits.
