Research Interests
My research centers on Conservative Evangelical women and their thoughts and theology through Christian historical fiction romance novels during the rise of Billy Graham and the Christian Right. By analyzing this genre of evangelical print media consumer culture, I hope to bring to light the ideas and theologies that answer the question "who is an Evangelical," from the perspective of everyday women whose voices are often left within the home.
