Elizabeth creates and writes at the intersection of public history, dress, labor and performance. In addition to making theatre, she is the archivist for the Le Gip Archive, a historic clothing collection that preserves the creative production, personal clothing, and ephemera of Byron Le Gip- an African American fashion designer, dancer and drummer active in NYC from 1949-1985. In 2013 Elizabeth co-founded TheatreTruck, an arts collective and organizing tool that makes site-specific and mobile performance from the historical record.
She teaches classes in 18th and 19th-century American history, dress history and performance history, most recently at Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, UMASS Amherst and Westfield State. She is a member of the LGBTQ+ History Association.
