About Me

I am a tenured associate professor of journalism at the University of Central Florida. I was the 2014 Winner of the Carol DeMasters Service to Food Journalism Award for my book and research blog about food journalism history.

I am currently under contract to write the book Re-Evaluating Women’s Page Journalism in the Post-World War II Era: Celebrating Soft News (Palgrave Macmillan).

I have published more than 30 articles about women and journalism history, including those in American Journalism, Journalism History and Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly.

I am a former chair of the History Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. I am currently a member of the Publications Board for the American Journalism Historians Association.

Recent Publications

I am the author of the books: The Food Section: Newspaper Women and the Culinary Community (Rowman & Littlefield, 2014), Politicking Politely: Well-Behaved Women Making a Difference in the 1960s and 1970s (Lexington, 2017) and a co-author of Mad Men & Working Women: Feminist Perspectives on Historical Power, Resistance and Otherness (Peter Lang, 2014/2016).
