Elizabeth earned her BA in Film, Television, and Media from the University of Michigan, graduating with Honors for her undergraduate thesis, "Authenticity is a Must: Re-examining the Queer Legacy of Danny Kaye." Her research interests are broad, spanning queer theory, Cold War-era American culture, classical Hollywood, television studies, psychoanalysis, and cult/exploitation cinema. Her current projects include revising her undergraduate thesis for publication, as well as a study of the "biker chick" exploitation cycle of the 1960s and 1970s. When she's not working on research, Elizabeth can be found at the movies (got to pump those Letterboxd numbers up!!!), running, hitting the gym, or hunting for new additions to her collection of vinyl film soundtracks at the record store.
