Tahneer Oksman is a graduate student in English Literature at the Graduate Center at CUNY, and is currently a Writing Fellow at Brooklyn College. Her dissertation, 'Evidence of Carpentry: The Serial Selves of Jewish American Women Writers,' focuses on the twentieth-century literature of first- and second-generation Jewish immigrant women, including Aline Kominsky-Crumb, examining issues of identity and assimilation, especially as related to intermarriage, in autobiographical and semiautobiographical texts. Her essay 'Mourning in the Family Album,' which explores images as vehicles for mourning in Nan Goldin's photo-journal The Ballad of Sexual Dependency and Jan Oxenberg's film Thank You and Goodnight, is forthcoming in a/b: Auto/Biography Studies.
