On dislocation and making a new home abroad in Spring, 2018 On the secret life of objects in Fall, 2019Ī brief history of social media at Bryn Mawr in Summer, 2018 My “Intersections” column tells the stories of Bryn Mawr alumnae as their lives intersect with natural, cultural, and historical forces, revealing the common imprint of our alma mater. You can read some of my published work at the links below. My literary interest extends to contemporary objects and their owners after a natural or man-made disaster (fire, flood, death, demolition, foreclosure), what do salvaged or sacrificed objects reveal about how a person reforms her identity, or how a community reconsiders its history? As a seven-year volunteer technician at the Independence National Park Archaeology Lab, the stories of how personal objects come to form the archaeological record-the social processes that affect an artifact’s “taphonomy”-fascinate me.

Writers are archaeologists, digging, processing and repairing the glittering and inscrutable relics to find meaning in experience.
