CURRICULUM VITAE
I am fifth-year joint doctoral candidate in English and Comparative Media Analysis and Practice (CMAP) specializing in sound studies, Black studies, theories of media and mediation, and 21st-century literature. My work considers the history of sound media as it influences the world of podcasting. My dissertation, entitled “White Noise: Sound, Race, and the Podcast Ecosystem,” aims to close-read popular podcasts as inheritors to the legacies of gendered and racialized sound media with particular emphasis on the rise of the phonograph and Golden Age radio production.
When I'm not leading classroom discussions or typing away in a coffeeshop, you're likely to find me strapping my kayak to the top of my car or at Wednesday night trivia, eating beef brisket and lecturing the table about why "All Star" by Smash Mouth is a really good song, actually.
