About the PFCI: Internationalization, diversity, and Inclusion are major priorities for Emerson. Emerson’s Strategic Plan defines Internationalization as the commitment to “mutually beneficial engagement with the global society in which we participate, and to ensuring that all members of our community are prepared to thrive in that society.” Similarly, Emerson’s dedication to Diversity and Inclusion is rooted in the belief that “institutional and academic excellence are not possible without full engagement with diversity across all areas of the College.” The President’s Fund for Curricular Innovation supports Emerson’s commitment to internationalizing and diversifying the curriculum of the College, as well as the implementation of inclusive pedagogical approaches in the classroom Each year, faculty are invited to submit proposal projects for acceptance to the Curriculum Internationalization and Inclusion Studio. The goals of the Studio are to:
Encourage collaboration among faculty;
Build our collective capacity to internationalize curriculum;
Develop specific courses, course modules, pedagogical and/or advising methods that contribute to these aims.
The PFCI and Curriculum and Internationalization and Inclusion Studio are jointly overseen by Dr. Anthony Pinder, Vice Provost Internationalization & Equity, and Dr. Tuesda Roberts, Director of Faculty Development and Diversity. The PFCI is sponsored by The Office of the President.

The Office of Research and Creative Scholarship is pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s Norman and Irma Mann Stearns Distinguished Faculty Award: Communication Sciences and Disorders professor Ruth Grossman and Visual and Media Arts assistant professor Julia Halperin.
A professor and former Chair of the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, Dr. Ruth Grossman‘s research is focused on various aspects of face-to-face communication in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). She is specifically interested in how children with ASD integrate and produce verbal and nonverbal information, such as facial expressions and prosody. She will use the Mann Stearns Award to establish an international network of autism research labs to lay the foundation for multi lingual/multi-cultural research, which will include the University of Aarhus in Denmark and the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.
Julia Halperin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Visual and Media Arts, and a filmmaker who works in multiple formats. Her cinematic interests include twisting and elevating genre, using landscape to externalize character, and disrupting narrative expectations. Her feature films have been premiered at the SXSW Film Festival and the Film Festival Rotterdman, have been nominated for several awards, and included in several critics’ best-of lists. With the Mann Stearns Award, she will submit her newest feature, Crookedfinger, for screening at a premier-class film festival and work to secure broader distribution.
About the Mann Stearns Award: Several years ago, the late Dr. Norman Stearns and Emerson alumna Irma Mann Stearns ’67 established a distinguished faculty award to honor a full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty member in recognition of outstanding scholarly or creative achievement. A $3,000 award is presented annually to at least one applicant. This funding may be used to enhance an ongoing project or for the development of a new scholarly or creative endeavor. Travel is strongly encouraged to be a part of the project activity.
