Colleagues describe her as "I have had the pleasure of learning from countless outstanding teachers, professors, and mentors both in Finland and at the University of Chicago, but Dr Erin McFee is the cream of the crop. At UChicago, I took Dr McFee's class "Humans After Violence" on the impact and aftermath of violence for both its victims and perpetrators as well as trauma and interpersonal betrayal during war and other forms of violent conflict. We delved deep into several key debates within anthropology, peacebuilding, conflict studies, psychology, and philosophy. Dr McFee has an exceptional ability to synthesize and assess influential theories and arguments from several fields, to facilitate group discussions on difficult subjects, and to meet each student where they are. Moreover, Dr McFee has achieved an in-depth and comprehensive level of understanding of several academic fields, which has enabled her to develop an approach which is not just interdisciplinary but novel, groundbreaking, and profoundly insightful. Her intellectual competence and methodological versatility as a scholar and teacher are nothing short of remarkable. Taking her class was the best decision I made at UChicago. " and "Erin was a pleasure to work with and truly represented what we wanted our teachers to be: personable, enthusiastic, intelligent, and attentive. She excelled at taking complex information and breaking it down for students, so they could understand it and apply it. She sought out additional responsibility and welcomed new challenges, and always gave her best effort. I'm pleased to have worked with Erin and I know her skills will carry her far in her career."
