2019-2020 Graduate Fellow
Grace Alvino is a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of English. Her work emerges from the intersection of literary scholarship, American and cultural studies, and the digital humanities, and looks at how marginalized populations have seized on emerging media technologies to express--and to frame as political--their lived experiences. Her dissertation project takes up the interplay between 1960s radicalism, television and newspaper media, and New Journalism; second and then third wave feminists' penchant for forms like personal narratives and zines; and social media as a space of radicalization.
