Graduate Student, SocDoc Program - Class of '14
Research Interests: 

Bread or Blood - A different kind of road movie, Bread or Blood carries the viewer on a journey along rails and rivers, following the route across the United States taken by Kelly's Army in 1894.  Contemporary voices punctuate movement through the landscapes that surround America's old arteries. Steel wheels are polished bright by thousands of miles of rail as the stories of America echo down the mountains, deserts, high plains, and fields of corn, all the way to the meandering currents and eddies of the Des Moines, Mississippi, and Ohio Rivers.
