Amy Shore

Amy Shore is a professor in the Department of Cinema & Screen Studies at the State University of New York at Oswego. She is author of Suffrage and the Silver Screen, a 2014 study of the films made by and about the American woman suffrage movement. She is currently working on a new book on silent filmmaker Nell Shipman that endeavors to go “beyond the pioneer myth” established around Shipman by feminist film historians to examine the colonial settler narratives of her films, stardom, and legacies. Dr. Shore is interim editor-in-chief for Gatherings: an intersectional, interdisciplinary feminist journal and board member of Adirondack Films, which runs the Lake Placid Film Festival every fall. Dr. Shore holds a BA in Spanish Literature from the University of Delaware and PhD in Cinema Studies from New York University.
