Professor Foreman teaches interdisciplinary-based and comparative courses in which African American representation and culture are central. Her classes are known for the ways in which they challenge students to hone new skills and do their very best work and for how they integrate original research through database and archival work. Professor Foreman has been interested in the ways in which technology can inform teaching and learning and has published on that subject. She is also committed to incorporating community-based partnerships into the learning communities she facilitates and to linking the historical research that students engage to the current issues that communities face. She has been Visiting Distinguished Professor of Africana Studies at Bowdoin College (2008-2009; Fall, 2009). In addition to teaching classes, she played a supporting role as a newly reinvigorated department envisioned its future and launched its first search (and secured other lines) under the direction of a newly hired chair.
