Carly Sherman

Carly Sherman is a Dual-Title Ph.D. candidate in Art Education and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at The Pennsylvania State University. Her interdisciplinary research examines how multimodal archives, feminist methodologies, podcasting, and immersive soundscapes can expand art education toward multisensorial and posthuman research design. Through arts-based research-creation and sonic inquiry, she explores how feminist leadership, intergenerational knowledge transfer, and accessible research practices shape more just and collaborative educational futures. Her dissertation investigates multisensory anarchiving and podcasting as methods for activating archives and fostering coalition-building and reflexive learning. Carly’s published work includes scholarship on digital feminist tinkering, glitch methodology, and affective material inquiry in preservice art education. As an educator, she embraces the artist-researcher-teacher positionality and centers care, reflexivity, and culturally responsive pedagogy in hybrid and multimodal learning environments. Carly also serves in leadership roles with the National Art Education Association’s Coalition for Feminisms in Art Education and the Ohio Art Education Association.
