Her teaching spans American civilization, film adaptation, and U.S. political history at undergraduate and graduate levels.
Recent projects include studying working-class representation in Pennsylvania-based films and analyzing the legacy of New Hollywood. She has been a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania (pending pandemic delays) and collaborates internationally on interdisciplinary cinema research.
