about
Examining post-1960s visual and material culture in the United States, Kristen Galvin’s interdisciplinary work explores intersections across film and media, popular music, performance, contemporary art, gender and sexuality, memory, and subcultural studies. She is also an advocate for the public humanities, doctoral reform, and fair labor practices in higher education. She has published in the Journal of Popular Music Studies, Critical Studies in Men’s Fashion, Leonardo Electronic Almanac, Art Journal Open, American Book Review and in edited collections. She received her PhD in Visual Studies from the University of California, Irvine where she completed her dissertation on Downtown New York's cultural scenes in the 1970s–1980s. Her current book project explores “hypernostalgia” and reconfigurations of old versus new media cultures in the 21st century.
She holds the position of Assistant Director for Graduate Engagement in the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere at the University of Florida, and is creating a suite of programs to promote the diversification of career outcomes for humanities graduate students and to support their navigation of the shifting terrain of higher education.
