Candidate statement
PhD Candidate
University of South Carolina
My name is Jenna Marco, and I am an ABD PhD candidate at the University of South Carolina. My dissertation investigates overlaps between modernist experimentation, supernatural fiction, and popular spiritualist movements. I have built a strong reputation in my department with professors and colleagues alike through leadership, diligence, and camraderie. Before I moved away from South Carolina, I was often tapped by our department administrators to meet with prospective and new graduate students, so I have experience providing academic and professional advice to early-stage students. I was also an active member UofSC’s branch of United Campus Workers. I have attended the annual MSA conference several times and worked on the editorial board for Modernism/modernity. As the graduate student representative on the MSA board, my priorities would include, but not be limited to: promoting cross-institutional collaboration between graduate students, expanding mentorship opportunities for graduate students, and ensuring equitable conference access for graduate students in a way that reflects our precarious financial status within our respective institutions.
