Emma McMain is an Assistant Professor in Educational Statistics and Research Methods at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR. Her teaching and scholarship explore how daily discourses (ways of sense-making about the world) and affects (ways of sensing the world) shape our identities, relationships, and social practices. Much of her work focuses on the potential of social and emotional learning (SEL) to both foster and undermine equity.

Announcing Conference to Restore Humanity! 2025: Quest for Connection (July 21-23, 2025). In 2025, we’re responding to the need for community and solidarity in uncertain times by turning Conference to Restore Humanity into a model for humanizing critical discourse and dialogue: bringing together students and teachers, researchers and doers, thinkers and visionaries to explore complex topics in education and illuminate a path forward together.
We are working with young people, educators, and schools to design engaging communities by...
creating purposeful, community spaces.
advocating for social justice.
eliminating dehumanizing practices.
building spaces that value us as humans.
