About

I am Associate Professor and Director of the Comics Studies Program in the Department of English at the University of Oregon. I am also affiliated faculty in New Media and Culture as well as Women’s and Gender Studies. My books include the monograph How Comics Travel: Translation, Publication, Radical Literacies, and the edited volume The Art of the News: Comics Journalism. My work has been published in a number of edited volumes including The Oxford Handbook of Comic Book Studies, The Comics of Alison Bechdel, Comics Studies Here and Now, and Horrors of War. I have published articles in the journals PMLA, Studies in Comics, Feminist Media Histories, Media Fields, and Sport in Society. I am the curator of the traveling museum exhibit The Art of the News: Comics Journalism, which debuted at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in September 2021.
