View Amy Anderson's CV

Amy is an artist, instructor, and dissertation writing coach focused on equitable pedagogy. She excels in concept recognition and development. Amy received her Ph.D. in Transformative Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies where she investigated theories for decolonizing academia and conducted a study on the student experience of critique in an M.F.A. program. Her M.F.A. inquiry explored Albert Camus' philosophical notion of the absurd, as it applies to individual roles in contemporary society. Amy's work prompts reflection about socially constructed culture, expectations, and indoctrinations and the effects of such conditions on the individual.
