Biography

Christopher M. Elias was born and raised in Massachusetts. He earned his PhD from Brown University in 2017 and currently teaches at the American University in Cairo, Egypt. His scholarly work examines issues of culture and identity in twentieth century America. He has written on a variety of topics, including 1950s gossip magazines, spirituality and gender in the work of filmmaker Terrence Malick, masculine nationalism in James Joyce's fiction, and national identity in German war cemetery design. His first book—which explores the interaction of gossip, sexual politics, and national security by examining the lives and careers of J. Edgar Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, and Roy Cohn—was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2021. Chris's current research centers on immigration, eugenics, and criminality in Depression-era Colorado.
