Dr. Emily Murray serves as Assistant Professor of English in the Department of Language, Literature, and Philosophy at Tennessee State University's College of Arts & Sciences. Her institutional engagement includes chairing the Recruitment and Retention Committee, serving on the English Online Program Committee, Library Committee, and Faculty Salary Survey Committee, while advising the English Student Organization and Words of Worth Literary Arts Journal.
Her research centers on decolonial approaches to Early Modern Literature, particularly Shakespeare and Marlowe, examining intersections with political theory, witchcraft, religion, and cultural capital. She pioneers transdisciplinary team-teaching models that bridge literature with social theory in HBCU contexts, as evidenced by her 2024 accepted publication on witchcraft/political theory and 2023 under-review work on The Tempest in pop culture.
Dr. Murray actively disseminates her scholarship through national conference presentations at St. Louis University's Annual Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies (2019-2023) and Tennessee State University's Annual Africa Conference (2023). Her academic service demonstrates commitment to institutional development through committee leadership and student organization mentorship, with particular focus on recruitment, retention, and literary arts cultivation.
