The Native Garden in June
With the lawn gone and native plants in its place, my front yard now garners a lot of attention in the summer—and only a few of the visitors are humans.
I work as a freelancer in the Hudson Valley. Quirky and unexpected histories are my jam, especially if they're about food, gender, and politics.
I have a degree in American Studies and History from Northwestern University, and I earned a Ph.D. in sociology from UC San Diego, where I wrote a dissertation about feminism and cooking. My past jobs have included writing for newspapers and editing cookbooks.
