The speaker for this event is Melissa Dinsman, Assistant Professor of English at York College and Author of DH series in LA Review of Books. Her bio on the York College website reads, "Melissa Dinsman holds a Ph.D. in Literature from the University of Notre Dame and specializes in twentieth-century British literature, media studies, and the digital humanities. Her first book, Modernism at the Microphone: Radio, Propaganda, and Literary Aesthetics During World War II (Bloomsbury 2015), explores the intersection of modernism and media aesthetics, bringing together her interest in late-modernist radio broadcasting, archival recovery, and information networks. Dinsman’s current book project, America’s Blitz, looks at the ways in which British and U.S. writers, directors, and broadcasters translated British wartime experiences for American audiences during World War II. Her most recent work can be found in places such as Contemporary Women’s Writing, The Space Between, and the L.A. Review of Books."
