My writing and videos have been featured in The Hollywood Reporter, IndieWire, NPR, The Criterion Collection, and Women and Hollywood. My documentaries have been official selections for film festivals in 15 countries and been screened at universities around the United States. I have a PhD in English from Purdue University and an MFA in Creative Writing from Naropa University, and I am associate professor and Crow Chair of English at the University of Pittsburgh. I’m co-founder and editor-in-chief of the peer-reviewed journal constellations: a cultural rhetorics publishing space.
