Congratulations to DR. Addie Mahmassani

Dear American Studies Community, Please join me in congratulating Dr. Addie Mahmassani on the successful defense of their wonderful dissertation, "Folk Feminism: The Women of the American Folk Revival." Congratulations to the Committee as well: Chair - Dr Tim Raphael, Dr. Whit Strub, Dr. Rob Snyder, and outside reader Kathleen Hulser. The committee noted Dr. Mahmassani's excellent, original work in highlighting and analyzing the central role of women in the folk revival and their articulation of what Dr. Mahmassani calls "folk feminism" as these women navigated, mediated, and opposed the broader structures of gender, race, and capitalism in late 50s and early 60s America. Truly fascinating work that everyone in attendance is excited to see in its next iteration. Again, please join me in applauding Dr. Mahmassani!!
