In this episode, Dr. Rosenbaum and I examine modernism, particularly through the lens of periodicals. Dr. Rosenbaum discusses the life of Mina Loy, a modernist author, poet, and artist, who she extensively studied while coauthoring her digital scholarly book, Mina Loy: Navigating the Avant-Garde. Dr. Rosenbaum then explains the implications of modern technology in the realm of her career and the careers of other historians.
