Clio I–Introduction and RSS Feeds


I’ll be using this website as my blog for Clio I this fall at George Mason University.

I am a PhD student and Digital History Fellow at George Mason University. My research interest is primarily U.S. Women’s history with a particular focus on physical culture and beauty in the early twentieth century as well as Digital History.  As part of the Digital History Fellowship I will be working in the Center for History and Media at GMU for the next few years.

I earned my Bachelors and Masters degree at California State University, San Marcos.  My masters thesis was titled“Madame Sylvia of Hollywood and Physical Culture, 1920-1940.” It examines the changing nature of women’s physical and beauty culture by looking at one columnist, Sylvia Ullback, who wrote for Photoplay magazine in the twenties and thirties.

Here are the RSS feeds I have added to feedly:
