I'm in my 3rd year of the Moving Image Studies track of the PhD program in the Department of Communication at Georgia State University.  I'm now in the process of dissertating, and my dissertation will focus on posthumanism and visual culture through through the lens of visualizations of the human.

My research interests include such topics as post-humanism, visual culture, ecocriticism, and "trash" cinema.  I'm from a small town in Iowa, and I have a strange obsession with dog shows, nature documentaries, and 80s action movies.
