Academic Writing

My article "Made in Miami: The Development of the Sportswear Industry in South Florida, 1900-1950" is forthcoming in The Journal of Social History. The article explores the interface between the rise of tourism to Palm Beach and Miami and growth of the leisurewear industry. Research for the project was funded by the Miami Design Preservation League.

My article "Striking Ensembles: The Importance of Clothing on the Picket Line" was published in Labor Studies Journal, Winter 2006. My research on textile workers in the 1930s will appear as a chapter in The Encyclopedia of Strikes in American History, forthcoming by ME Sharpe, Spring 2007. Several of my articles have been published in online journals including Media/Culture Review, Americana, and The Journal of New Media and Culture.

My most recent project explores the role of Princeton University as the arbiter of men's fashion in the first half of the twentieth century. For more information, visit my research blog.
