Graduate Associate

B.A. in Film and Cultural Theory, New York University

Josie Torres Barth graduated from New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study in 2005 with a concentration in Film and Cultural Theory. She spent the next five years in New York working on independent films as a freelance art director. As a first-year graduate student in Georgetown's English program, Josie's research interests include narratology, Marxist critical theory, the politics of realist and anti-realist representation, and late- and post-modern literature and film. Here at CNDLS, she works both with the Commons team and as a videographer to help explore the possibilities of new media in humanities scholarship. In her spare time, Josie enjoys reading French and learning German, thrift-shopping, and riding her bike around the city.
