STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Maddie House-Tuck

Meet Maddie!

Maddie House-Tuck is a PhD student in American Studies at George Washington University. Prior to starting her PhD at GW, Maddie completed her Masters in Theatre and Performance Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. Maddie is a historian of US carcerality and abolitionist artmaking. Her research surveys aesthetic interventions that resist and reimagine carceral infrastructures, technologies, and material culture, and their stakes for thinking about the built environment and abolitionist landscapes.
