Specialization
Emery is the author of numerous books, mostly recently Reframing Japonisme: Women and the Asian Art Market in Nineteenth-Century France, 1853-1914 (Bloomsbury Visual Arts, 2020). Her research interests have expanded over the years, moving from an initial focus on the reception of medieval art, architecture, and literature in nineteenth and twentieth-century Europe and America toward early photojournalism, celebrity interviews, and European and American writer house museums. While continuing to lecture and publish in these areas, she is currently involved in a number of projects related to the collection and study of Asian art in nineteenth-century France and America and to sustainability studies.
