Breaking into Academia: How to Find and Get a Job in Teaching

Sarah Pfohl is an artist and teacher. She uses photography, drawing, and writing to examine issues of teaching, schooling, place, and ability. A combination of reading and study in critical rural theory, disability studies, and critical educational theory in dialogue with Sarah's personal experiences of rural places, disability, and classroom teaching currently inform her work as an artist. New work from The forest rests also in you, Sarah's ongoing photography project, was published as the second issue of Halfmoon Projects' TK series in January 2018. Sarah earned graduate degrees from Syracuse University (MFA, Art Photography) and Harvard University (Ed.M., Arts in Education) and an undergraduate degree from Pratt Institute (BFA, Drawing). She teaches photography at the University of Indianapolis.
