I am first and foremost an academic. Because of this, I am currently on fellowship as PhD student at the University of Iowa. In addition to normal course work, I have accomplished publishing some of my work: “Graphic Imagery: Jewish American Comic Book Creators' Depictions of Class, Race, Patriotism and the Birth of the Good Captain” in Captain America and the Struggle of the Superhero: Critical Essays; “America’s ‘improvised’ democracy in Battlestar Galactica Re-Imagined and Stargate SG-1,” accepted for publication in Popular Culture and 9.11.

I also have been able to get a book contract with McFarland. The title of the book is Obama-Mania: Critical Essays on Representations of President Barack Obama in Popular Culture. It will be a collection of essays examining how Obama has been portrayed in different mediums.

In addition to working on Obama-Mania, I also writes comic book reviews and conducts interviews for scifipulse.net. The intent of this flickr profile is to create a place where I can list all of the interviews I've conducted and links to my publications.
