Emilia Chiscop Head
Emilia Chiscop-Head, PhD, is a scholar, educator, former journalist, and author whose work spans media studies, mental health, research ethics, and international development. She currently serves as Administrative Manager for Strategic Projects and Executive Education at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering, where she supports strategic initiatives, program development, and operational innovation.
Before joining Pratt, Dr. Chiscop-Head served as a Scientific Integrity Associate in Duke University's Office of Scientific Integrity, where she designed and facilitated dozens of research integrity workshops and roundtables for faculty, staff, and trainees. She also held a managerial role with the Duke Initiative for Science & Society and the Huang Fellows Program, contributing to curriculum design, program development, and interdisciplinary education.
A former award-winning journalist in her native Romania, Dr. Chiscop-Head is the author of two books, including News Press in Iasi, 1890–1910, based on her doctoral dissertation completed at the Romanian Academy of Science, and In Search of Authenticity: Revelations and Portraits from the City of Active Meditation, a collection of interviews with prominent Romanian intellectuals. She was also a Carter Center Mental Health Journalism Fellow, an experience that informed her continued interest in mental health communication, stigma, and public engagement.
At Duke, Dr. Chiscop-Head created and taught Stigma of Mental Illness, Ethnicity, and Race, an interdisciplinary course examining how media narratives, cultural identities, and public policy shape perceptions of mental illness and influence health outcomes across diverse communities.
Dr. Chiscop-Head holds graduate degrees in International Development Policy from Duke University, Bioethics from Case Western Reserve University, Business Administration, and History from University Alexandru Ioan Cuza of Iasi, Romania.
