Hello new followers. I'm a PhD candidate in 19C AmericanLiterature, Book History, and Trans Studies at #UIUC. My dissertation is about how the material aspects of the book--from the binding to the typography--contributed to the formation of white cisheternomativity as a "natural" default by the end of the century. I post about #bookhistory, #19C #AmLit, #TransStudies and other trans stuff, #letterpress printing and #BookArts. You can also expect posts about my dog Arlo and occasionally about my cats Matzah Ball and No.44 New Series 864,962 (IYKYK).
