Journal of Modern Periodical Studies

With Elizabeth Sheehan, I serve as the Co-Editor of the Journal of Modern Periodical Studies, a biannual journal featuring new scholarship on newspapers, magazines, and other forms of periodical print published between 1880-1950. The journal is published by Penn State University Press, and is available via Project MUSE and Scholarly Publishing Collective.

Modernist Studies Association

I am honored to serve as the Vice Program Chair of the Modernist Studies Association (taking up the Program Chair position in Fall 2024). Sponsored by Johns Hopkins University Press, the MSA is a scholarly organization dedicated to providing a forum for critical work on the arts and culture of the modernist period from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Faculty Research Development Fellow

From January-December 2024, I serve as the College of Arts and Letters Faculty Research Development Fellow at Idaho State University, in which capacity I will help CAL faculty from all disciplines further their research via internal and external support. Services include the planning, execution, and administration of grant applications, as well as individual consultation on research agendas in progress.

Graduate Studies in English at Idaho State University

From 2018-2024 I served as the Director of Graduate Studies in English at Idaho State University, in which capacity I supervised our MA in English, PhD in English and the Teaching of English, and Accelerated BA/MA in English. Ours is a small, student-centered graduate program that emphasizes pedagogy, and our PhD has been recognized by the MLA as an innovative doctoral program for its emphasis on training graduates for careers at community colleges and teaching-intensive institutions (see MLA report below).
