Scholar

"I am all the more convinced that mending the long-lived disconnect between artistic work and its analysis is essential for understanding acting's long history and its continuing power to move audiences." -Sharon Carnicke
Joelle's scholarship reflects her life-long love of storytelling. Her driving question --  Why do people love stories and how do we best tell them? -- guides all her work and spurred her completion of a PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies from the University of Georgia in 2020.
