One of two student fellows assisting Jennifer Firestone with research, course organization, student/teacher relations, and whatever extracurricular work arises. Student fellows help to enhance the study of course material through in-class conversation and extracurricular assistance. This particular course, "Feminist Avant-Garde Poetics," will also work closely with the independent press Belladonna*, based in Brooklyn, NY, to get students involved with a "real-world" organization dedicated to the feminist avant-garde.

Worked on various editorial projects, including "A Useless Man: Selected Stories" by Sait Faik Abasiyanik, as well as volume 4 of the popular "My Struggle" series by Karl Ove Knausgaard. Did a lot of contact database addition/organization, packed and shipped orders and/or review copies of books, contacted potential donors (as the press is a non-profit and gets a lot of help from donations), and volunteered at press events, among many other things.
