Introducing Courtney Rawlings, ToM’s Newest Contributing Editor

Courtney Rawlings is Tropics of Meta’s newest contributing editor. Courtney is a PhD Candidate in Emory University’s Art History Department, where she is writing a dissertation on midcentury modern architecture and the Left in Los Angeles. With a background in modern art and architectural history, Courtney hopes to develop and expand ToM’s work at the intersection of politics and urban history.
