Lisa Novemsky has more than 25 years experience as a teacher, college professor, program director, and researcher. She has a strong background in science education, early childhood education, interdisciplinary curriculum, arts-centered and aesthetic education, music, reasoning and critical thinking, somatic education, and philosophy for children. Her broad base of experience in urban education includes directing and coordinating urban outreach projects and a program specifically designed for gifted young women with an interest in science, and engineering. Her research interests include "second teaching" and language factors in physics learning and in early childhood play.

Her curiosity about how people think and learn has led her into studies in the sciences, cognitive psychology, human development, the arts and aesthetics, and education. Her professional mission has been focused on understanding the processes underlying learning, especially in historically underrepresented groups, and helping people take themselves out of their usual habits and patterns of thought and action in order to open up to new possibilities.
