Ashley Williams

Ashley E. Williams is a freelance writer and library assistant living in Austin, TX. For her capstone research project in college, she focused on 19th century French travel-painters living in Turkey and Morocco, and how their works helped shape fantastical European conceptions of the Orient. Ashley served as a Fulbright scholar in Morocco, where she taught college English and founded Ibn Tofail University’s first English Department library. Anything culture and arts sparks her interest: Ashley’s tapestry of experience also includes associate producing a Discovery Channel film on Himalayan glaciers, blogging on cinema, and cooking dishes from her travels around the world. Ashley could not live without books, and is herself a writer of short fiction. A Kemper scholar and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Ashley graduated with honors from Agnes Scott College in Decatur, GA with a degree in Art History and French.
