My first home was #modernism & I wrote a book called The Extinct Scene: Late Modernism & Everyday Life (Columbia UP 2016). I am working on a book called Unnatural Attachments: Aesthetic Education & Ecological Crisis. I edit the Energy & Environment forum for Modernism/Modernity’s Print + platform (pitch me!).
