Biography
As a joint Ph.D. student in Educational Policy Studies and History, I am broadly interested in gender, women, and sexuality in the late 20th century United States. My current research focuses on the political history of girlhood from the 1960s to the 1990s, examining girls’ culture and activism in the American high school.
