Welcome to the 49th Annual Art Therapy Discovery Day at Emporia State University!

This year our keynote speaker will be Girija Kaimal, the assistant dean for the Division of Human Development and Health Administration at Drexel University and an associate professor in the Creative Arts Therapies program. She has published over 60 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters and was listed among 100 women scientists leading research and featured as one of the ten people whose “research changed the world.” Kaimal is the Primary Investigator for two studies funded by the National Endowment for the Arts which examine outcomes of art therapy for military service members with traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress, and arts-based approaches to mitigate chronic stress among patients and caregivers in pediatric hematology/oncology units. Additional current studies include examining the therapeutic underpinnings of indigenous and traditional artforms.
