She has been a visiting professor or visiting scholar at Princeton University, the University of New Hampshire, the University of Chicago, the Université Francois Rabelais in Tours, France, and the University of Valencia, Spain. Dr. Greenblat's initial photographic work evolved from her research, her travels, and her desire to illustrate some of her sociological writing. She regularly taught an advanced seminar at Rutgers in Visual Sociology.
