MARK GARRETT COOPER, Associate Professor, PhD, Brown University (1998), specializes in U.S. cinema (especially silent Hollywood), visual culture studies, feminism, and 20th-century U.S. culture and political economy. His first book, Love Rules: Silent Hollywood and the Rise of the Managerial Class (Minnesota, 2003), explains why a culture managed by professionals would seek its entertainment in the form of the Hollywood feature film. His current book project explains how filmmaking conventions participated in developing a gendered division of labor at the Universal Film Manufacturing Company between 1912 and 1919.
