Ulili Emore is a part-time doctoral student in the Program in Higher Education Leadership and Policy (PHELP) in the College of Education at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). Her research examines the social, cultural, and institutional factors and mechanisms that contribute to scholar identity development among graduate students, with a specific focus on how Black women doctoral students make-meaning of their scholarly identities within various institutional and academic environmental contexts.

In addition to being a doctoral student, Ulili works full-time at UT Austin as a Program Manager in the Contextualization & Commemoration Initiative (CCI) unit within the Executive Vice President and Provost’s Office (EVPP). In this role, she is responsible for the project management and coordination of both the Sweatt v. Painter Gallery and Entry to T.S. Painter Hall and the Precursors—We are Texas East Mall commemorative projects. These projects serve as a public history pedagogical endeavor to understand and recognize UT Austin’s history, while also honoring and celebrating the men and women whose legacies paved the way for a more inclusive UT Austin and institution for all Texans.
