Ellen Barth's doctoral research examines women’s involvement in the production of American community cookbooks in the second half of the 20th century. Focusing particularly on the books’ material aspects and the mechanisms of their creation, this project aims to shed light on the way women have participated in publishing outside of mainstream channels, using their own methods and print culture practices.
Ellen Barth is a doctoral candidate in Book Studies, researching cookbooks and the role of American women in non-traditional publishing in the twentieth century. Originally from the United States, Ellen holds a bachelor’s degree in Asian Languages and Literatures from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. In 2018, she completed the M.A. National and Transnational Studies program at the University of Münster.
