Leah Toth is an assistant professor of English who specializes in 20th-century film, literature and sound studies. Her work in film focuses on the formal aspects of music and sound design within historical contexts. Her article on American jazz musicians as the cultural wellspring for Stanley Kramer’s depiction of white hipsters in his 1953 film, “The Wild One,” was published as the retrospective feature in the Journal of Popular Film and Television.
Toth piloted the first formal film studies course at 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 in 2019 and she's currently developing more specialized film courses for English majors, minors and media studies minors. She also hopes to convince her students that Samuel Beckett is “the Shakespeare of the 20th century” and admits that this is a far more difficult task than she had anticipated.
