#ASA2022

At the end of my first year at William & Mary, I made a list of objectives I intended to accomplish over the next four years.

Adventures in Minneapolis

I’ve been meaning to write about the Supreme Court’s recent decisions and their repercussions. But in all honesty, I’m still feeling too drained emotionally, so let’s take a look at some travel pictures instead. Last week I talked about the research I did at the Walker Art Center archives.

After the pandemic postponed our 2020 travel plans, we ventured down to Florida earlier this month to spend time with his family. Today, I’ll share with you some highlights from our trip. Brandon’s family lives in northern Florida, so we divided… Continue reading Florida Adventures

Dissertation Work, June Update

It’s been a busy few weeks since the last time I talked about the dissertation, so let’s get caught up. Following the approval of the prospectus and sketching out a tentative working schedule, I started reading more deeply into nineteenth-century mobile visual culture, including panoramas, magic lantern shows, and peep shows.
