Professor Hollinshead-Strick came to Paris after teaching in Penang, Providence, and Philadelphia. Having spent a year at Universit茅 Paris 7, Denis Diderot, she made her way to The American University of Paris, joining the faculty in 2009. Her research focuses on nineteenth-century literature and media, with particular attention paid to the relationship between the theater and the press in France.听
Popular culture, especially as it relates to the history of material texts, interests her more generally, as do the uses of publicity in society. The city of Paris also plays an essential role in Hollinshead-Strick鈥檚 research and teaching. Its libraries and archives house rare documents that often inform her publications and conference papers, while its streets and museums occasionally serve as classrooms for courses she teaches on Paris through its Books and Paris as a Stage for Revolution.
