In Fall 2025, Dr. Nae served as a Emory University Arts & Social Justice Fellow. As an artistic fellow, she co-taught a course with faculty fellow Dr. Kylie Smith.

Students in Emory University's "Historical Foundations of Health Disparities in the US" Fall 2025 course learned  about policies and practices that shape health inequities at the intersection of racism and colonialism.

Titled "Protest as Art: US History of Health Activism," our final showcase took lessons from past health care activists to protest ongoing inequalities in American health care. Through visual art, poetry, and performance, we weaved history with storytelling to amplify the urgent call for justice—to remind us, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr that “of all the forms of inequality, health care injustice is the most shocking and inhumane.”
