  Emily Edwards is currently a doctoral candidate at Bowling Green State University. She received her Master's from New York University's Center for European and Mediterranean Studies and her Bachelor of Arts in History from Loyola University New Orleans. She is concerned with the negotiation of identity, race, and power through cultural and media forms and has most recently explored these issues in the context of the refugee crisis and integration in former East Germany as a Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) sponsored visiting researcher at the University of Leipzig. Her work has appeared in online news and cultural publications including Public Seminar and New York Transatlantic, as well as in the peer-reviewed journal Glocalism. She is currently the Graduate Student Assistant for the School of Cultural and Critical Studies at Bowling Green State University. Her current research interests include the relationship between diasporas, globalization, and the production of white identities in physical and cyberspaces in the American Midwest.
