Over the years, I have developed innovative approaches in the classroom. I explore the humanities through an interdisciplinary lens and encourage awareness about race, class, and gender. For example, participants in classes at the museum sourced from diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Partnerships with local universities enabled our facility to serve as a laboratory for accredited courses within the colleges. Often pre-med students enrolled with graduate-level psychology students and social work students. These classes were also open to the general public. Students engaged in rigorous analysis but also were encouraged to create community-based presentations. One such exhibit is the “Silent No More” interactive art installation which can be viewed online here [LINK].

Martha Joy Rose is a scholar, artist, and activist specializing in mother studies, family studies, illness, media, digital humanities, sociology, and gender. She is the founder and director of the Museum of Motherhood; an international exhibition and teaching center, which was the first and only of its kind (2011-ongoing). She has received much press attention for her pioneering accomplishments. She is descended from the Scottish Rose clan of the thirteenth century of Kilravock whose family crest is constant and true. Ms. Rose is invested in partnerships, collaborations, and building positive intersections between the academic, the para-academic, and students of all ages. She is the feminist mother of four fascinating young adults.
