Evan Ash (University of Maryland), Graduate Caucus President
 
Evan R. Ash is a Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland focusing on visual culture and the history of childhood in early-to-mid twentieth century America. His dissertation proposal, "Raising the Rationalized Child: Children, Mass Culture, and Fordism at Midcentury" examines the changing role of children in the eyes of systems of labor production as well as the deep societal consequences attached to their cultural consumption. When Evan is not buried under a pile of books, he enjoys gaming (board and video), watching movies, ice skating, and suffering Baltimore Ravens-induced anxiety.
