As a historical researcher, I study how leading female journalists and artists shaped the media landscape in the 1930s and 1940s. I have published literary pieces for publications such as the Harvard Review, Ploughshares, and the Chicago Review of Books. In addition to my academic work and publications, I created and hosted my own podcast called "In the Stacks," interviewing a variety of authors ranging from anthropologists to literary scholars.
