Author: Kate Koppy

As a precariously employed early-career scholar in twenty-first century academia, Kate Koppy studies the interaction of narrative and community while teaching, applying for jobs, and parenting two teenagers. She completed revisions on her book *Fairy Tales in Contemporary American Culture: How We Hate to Love Them* during the 2020 pandemic while making her own international job transition and supporting her children in their transitions from high school to college. She is currently an Assistant Professor (ntt) in the Department of Humanities and Languages at the New Economic School in Moscow. The constants in her life are knitting, books, and snark.
