Biography

Jessica Klimoff is a PhD candidate in the English department at the Pennsylvania State University. Her research focuses on post-1945 American literature and the environmental humanities. She is especially interested in how climate change disrupts public narratives’ construction of the past, present, and future. In addition to her work as a graduate student and teacher, she has worked on Penn State’s “Redesigning Modernities” project to develop online educational resources and syllabi to help build classroom conversations about a global, unequal modernity, especially as it relates to environmental change.
