About

I’m a food anthropologist studying the ways food, texts, and money circulate in the German recipe industry.  I’m a PhD student in Anthropology at Indiana University Bloomington and fellow of the Ostrom Workshop, and my work has been published in Food and Foodways and Gastronomica.  I graduated with my Master’s degree in Gastronomy (Food Studies) from Boston University in 2019, having hosted a series of Nostalgia Dinners and written my thesis on how food is used in response to trauma, and I hold a Bachelor’s in Egyptology from Brown University.  When I’m away from my desk, I’m likely either reading a mystery or working on an analog photography project.  I use any pronouns.

To see what I’m thinking and writing about lately, check out my blog on this site.
