Kate Hartke is a graduate student in English at The Ohio State University. She is interested in twentieth-century transnational literature, modernism, colonial and postcolonial women authors, poetry and the environmental humanities. More specifically, Kate is interested in the way transnational women authors negotiate their regional and cosmopolitan identities in and through their work. She is also interested in the overlap in the calls for new modes of meaning making and art making in both the Modernist movement and Anthropocene scholarship.
