Tyler Groff is a second year doctoral student in English with a research focus situated in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century British literature and drama. He is currently exploring ways in which Britain’s imperial project prompted thinkers of the time to consider interweaving anxieties concerning national identity, gender, and environmental sustainability. His recent research has considered, among other things, how the anti-plumage movement shaped, and was shaped by, the millinery trade and stage costuming trends.

Tory Lowe holds a Master’s degree in English from Miami University and is currently pursuing a degree in Higher Education Administration. He has written on 20th-century film culture and its intersections with literatures of the period, including projects on women’s magazine fiction and the career of early film star and sex symbol Theda Bara. Other interests include actresses and performance, queer theory, digital humanities, and the role of the public intellectual.
